The BNI Showcase 2011 is Heating Up!

It’s official… the BNI Showcase 2011 is sold out. Sixty-eight businesses from across the Golden Horseshoe Region will exhibit at Glen Abby Golf Course in Oakville on January 20th. It starts at 2:00 pm and goes ‘til 7:00 pm. If you want to go, register yourself (and your guests) at http://www.bnicorporateconnections.com (click on the link above).

What’s going to make this really interesting is not only the phenomenal networking opportunities, but a number of businesspeople are offering breakout sessions, too. I’ve listed the sessions below and linked to each business’s website.

I had a chance to talk with Renée Brisson-Khan of RBK Artworks about her presentation. Renée’s a terrific graphic designer with a specialty in trade show design, which she’s going to talk about on the 20th.

When working with clients, Renée asks “Who are you?”, “Where are you positioned?” and “Where do you want to be?” With a different approach from many graphic designers, she believes design is not just about clever visuals, but also that the pieces must tie into company identity and are authentic. 

Renee's breakout session "Trade Show Tips to Stand Out In a Crowd" will focus on getting value from trade shows.

If your friends, colleagues, clients or suppliers exhibit at trade shows – invite them to Renée’s breakout session. Trust me, they’ll thank you.

The presenters are listed here. I hope we’ll see you on the 20th.
