Conference Notes: Entertainment
Announcing a Key Conference Pivot!
We’re PIVOTING away from the usual dinner and entertainment on the Thursday evening in the hotel ballroom and instead for 2024, we will be making the most of what West Edmonton Mall has to offer – JUBILATIONS!
Conference Notes: Auction, Entertainment and Subsidy
More pivots in store for 2024 …
The move to Jubilations instead of a dinner in the hotel on Thursday night is impacting our ability to hold a silent auction, so we’ll be taking a break from the silent auction this year.
We’re getting ready to open registration! Tickets will be offered with and without Jubilations; and a limited number of Jubilations-only tickets will also be available. Those interested in attending Jubilations with us are encouraged to register early as these are expected to sell fast.
