On Wednesday morning we coordinated an event with Hogg, Shain & Scheck and helped them organize and promote their Managing for Growth Seminar. The guest speakers for the day were CEO John Wilson from CEO Global Network and Phil Kirby, CEO and founder of Organization Thoughtware International Inc. The seminar was very informative and we enjoyed being a part of it. Our first speaker for the day was John Wilson who spoke about how great CEOs are made. He has coached a number of top-earning CEOs and has learned some valuable information in the process which he shared with the guests. Among the advice he gave, what stuck with us is when he discussed the importance of networking and being connected. I know in any industry (not only event planning) in order to have a successful business, you need to be able to maintain relationships with people you meet. John Wilson has actually written a book on this subject called Great CEOs and How They Are Made. The book has been highly acclaimed and is definitely worth checking out, attendees of the seminar all received a copy.

Phil Kirby was our “headliner” and he did not disappoint. His talk kept the audience engaged and the material was useful to people in all industries. He helped put a spotlight on the relationships between processes and how to solve production issues at the source by being on sight and being able to see the process for yourself.

The event was held at the Delta Toronto East in Scarborough, only a few minutes away from Hogg, Shain & Scheck. The hotel was much larger than I had initially anticipated. Delta provided a very hospitable environment and provided a full breakfast that included a number of different pastries, yogurt and LOTS of coffee (very important).

Overall, the event was a success and everything went off without a hitch. Thank you again to the sponsors Ted Rogers School of Management and CEO Global Network. Also we would like to give a special thank you to our speakers John Wilson and Phil Kirby. Stay tuned because Hogg, Shain & Scheck have more really interesting events coming up so make sure you visit their website for more details. On October 27^th, Brian Beaulieau will be back for his annual economic update.

Until next time!

The evening started off with an opportunity for mingling with other guests and Allan Small. There were passed hors d’oeuvres, cheese plates, and a glass of welcome prosecco for everyone to enjoy. Once everyone was seated Allan started his very informative talk about the 5 things that could derail the 2015 markets and how to navigate around these risks.

Proceeding the talk Rosa Forgione was introduced and she led casual wine tasting. She sampled three different wines; 2 reds, and a white wine. She was very personable and went around to every table talking about the wines and asking people how they enjoyed them. The evening was concluded by a final round of hors d’oeuvres and a chance for people to ask Allan some questions and to mingle with the other attendees.

CityEvents was proud to work with Allan Small again in 2015 on his annual client hosting program.  For photos of this event please visit: https://www.flickr.com/photos/cityeventstoronto/sets/72157650374906446/
