Based on the responses received by attendees and exhibitors alike, the trade show proved to be an opportune moment for industry professionals to come together and foster knowledge sharing, and put a spotlight on innovative products, learning, and networking.

“We are grateful for the feedback we received from exhibitors and participants, acknowledging the value they derived from the trade show component of the expo,” says Johnson. “By carefully considering the feedback received from expo delegates, our primary goal is to ensure the satisfaction of both exhibitors and delegates in the forthcoming editions of the event. This valuable input not only affirmed the trade show’s significance, but also provided us with insights into areas for improvement.”

Working Behind The Scenes

Organizing an event of this magnitude demanded an extensive level of collaboration and, although the ECA enlisted the services of a professional planner to aid in the event organization, there were numerous significant tasks that the association itself undertook to ensure its success.

Working in conjunction with an internal organizing team, including the event planner, the ECA facilitated communication and coordination among multiple stakeholders, including the speakers and presenters, sponsors and exhibitors, the Edmonton EXPO Centre, attendees, the board, volunteers, and the membership at large.

“It required the collective effort of many dedicated individuals to successfully navigate the challenges and deliver a conference that truly benefited our membership,” says Johnson.

Looking ahead, the ECA is actively preparing for another event and is considering the many valuable insights gained from the previous one. The expo organizing committee is currently evaluating the feedback received from both internal sources and external participants, and is determined to refine the format, consider alternative dates, and maintain its unwavering commitment to delivering value for both ECA members and sponsors.

“By mid-2023, informed decisions will be made regarding the specific details and structure of the 2024 event,” says Johnson. “Stay tuned for news on our next expo!” u
