UnExpected ’13 VIP Opening Night Party

This year’s opening night party for the Canadian Special Events Expo was both ‘UnExpected’, and unforgettable; with a scrumptious variety of food, memorable entertainment, and ample networking opportunities, this event was a huge success. Approximately 700 event industry professionals from across Canada came out to UpCountry in the heart of Toronto, to mix and mingle at UnExpected ’13 on March 20^th.

From delicacies provided by Presidential Gourmet, Cheeseworks, Parts and Labour & Neptuno, beverages from Griffin Gastropub & Wandering Bean Coffee, and desserts by Bucket and Whisk, to performances from Sarah Violin, Jordan Clark, EH440, and Becky Hoops & David Fiset; UnExpected ’13 had something for everybody’s tastes. The event also featured ‘unexpected’ elements such as a sidewalk chalk drawing by Toronto’s own Chalkmaster Dave, an Easter bunny distributing Cadbury eggs & goodies out front, a puzzle by Master Pieces, and captivating projections from Apex Sound.

The CityEvents team sponsored the social media management for this event, and were on-site to execute several contests, interact with guests, and encourage online engagement. We hosted online contests leading up to the event in which we gave away passes to both the UnExpected party, and the Canadian Special Events Expo: Tradeshow. Our on-site contests were based on guests’ involvement with social media including activity on Crowd Activation’s Social Mosa, a combination Twitter & Instagram wall, and the event’s mobile app from The App Labb. Winners went away with a Bucket & Whisk gift basket, a fondue set or gift card from CHEESEWERKS, a Parts & Labour gift card, or tickets to Sensation: Ocean of White from Nasco Staffing and the Rogers Centre.

We at CityEvents had an amazing time at this year’s UnExpected opening night party, and we are already looking forward to the next one!

Premiere Event Venue The Carlu Celebrates its 10th Anniversary

After the re opening of the Carlu in May 2003. This historical landmark is a one of a kind architectural masterpiece at Yonge and College Street.   Back in the day, in the 1930’s, it was the estate of Lady Eaton, Toronto department store president and heir Sir John Craig Eaton’s wife. Even then it was the venue of sumptuous soirées in the sophisticated spaces designed by French architect Jacques Carlu.

 Years later, Mark Robert and Jeffry Roick, took a leap of faith on renovating the building for it to become the historic Art Moderne venue that it is now.   The Carlu, named after its architect, is at this time referred to as “the highest profile restoration in

Canada” and designated a National Historic Site in 1982. The Herittage Award for Best restored place by the Canadian Event Perspective Magazine is one of the many awards won by this venue. Along goes the Architectural Excellence Award in 2004 by Ontario Architectural Association and 2012 Canada’s Top Venue by Meeting + Incentive Travel Magazine and many more.

Mark Robert refers to it as “more of a museum that houses special events”

On May 1^st, 2003, Robert and Roick opened the seventh floor to the public once again.  They renamed the venue for the famous architect and his wife whose delightful painted murals of pastoral life were unearthed beneath 27 years of neglect.

About the Carlu :

In a nutshell this is over 500,000 guests, over 1650 events (from weddings, charity, awards, concerts, Fashion shows to corporate meetings and social events.
