Incentiveworks: The whole world in Toronto!

Filed under Ask Deb, Ontario, Past Events, Toronto
August 23rd and 24th at Incentiveworks was something I hope you didn’t miss. The Metro Toronto Convention Center was full of event planners, professionals and travel enthusiasts. The perfect fit for companies looking to take their meetings to new places and cultures and allow themselves to be immersed into a world of dreams, entertainment and much more!
While walking though the different aisles we all had a sense that we were travelling the world without having to leave Toronto.
The first thing to do after we enter the hall was enjoy a huge amount of international food samples, like home made nachos from Central America, cheese from France, sushi from Asia, tiramisu from Italy, soufflés and other fruits, cupcakes and candies. Of course, you need to match this food with a drink: wine, beer and special martinis were provided in some both that you got to discover for your own interest and pleasure.
Finally after a good dinner what is better to do than discover the wonders around you. Travelling across the provinces of Canada, the states of America, to Eastern Europe then of to the Pacific and Atlantic Islands.
Of course you could stop in at the best hotels here, and finish your journey with a special massage offered by one of their masseuse.
What else would you need?
Travel all around the world and enjoy the best places for free?
IncentiveWorks was the place to be last week!!!

“FastLane in the Community”, April’s FastLane not only offers networking but also illuminates what you as a Torontonian can do to give back to the community. This is your chance to meet young professionals, build relationships and fulfill your career, community, lifestyle and social goals.
Last years ‘FastLane in the Community’ was such a success that we were inspired to partner with Kultura and United Way’s GenNext and they have partnered with us again for 2011. Kultura will once again host FastLane in the Community; you can absorb the rustic appeal of Kultura throughout this unique networking experience. Another one of our community partners is the Junior League of Toronto, an organization of women committed to promoting voluntarism.
Come check out the opportunities these organizations have available to you, after all experience is everything; you can take all of the skills you learn throughout your time volunteering and apply them to achieving your career goals. Each guest will receive a gift bag with exclusive samples and offers from companies like John Frieda, ColdFX, Blo Blowdry Lounge, SGT Splatters and more!
GenNext’s mandate is to encourage Torontonians in their 20s and 30s to become involved with the United Way Toronto through both giving and volunteering. The group is committed to raising awareness and supporting the work of United Way and its partners by developing and participating in volunteer and fundraising events.
After hearing such rave reviews at February’s FastLane we are bringing back the ever popular Speed Networking sessions- a service that was introduced to Toronto by FastLane. Participants have seven minutes to begin a business relationship with each other, thus creating an opportunity to leverage each others’ success.

Got a New Years Resolution for 2010? How often do you incorporate health and wellness in your exercise regime?
The Canadian Fitness and Lifestyle Research Institute states that only 49% of Canadians (aged 20 and older) are at least moderately active during their leisure time (Approximately 25% of adults are moderately active, while only 24% are classified as active). This leaves a mere 51% of Canadians who are inactive in their leisure times. It is proven that keeping a health and fitness regime can improve health benefits substantially.
Women tend to be more inactive than men (52% compared to 48%). The major barriers that most people face when trying to keep an exercise routine are access to convenient facilities, time, and safe environments to exercise. CityEvents presents to you 2 upcoming events to getting fit for the new years and conquering the sedentary lifestyle!
