I could not be more excited to officially invite you, our NAPO family, to the annual Professional Organizers in Canada National Conference!
This year’s conference will take place in beautiful Toronto, Ontario from November 2nd to the 4th. Our theme is #Organize: Building On The Buzz. Organization has become a such popular topic lately that we wanted to focus this year’s conference on ways to help you grow your business and reach out through the trending topics of the day. We have a number of NAPO members presenting including Leslie Josel, Liana George, Dorothy Breininger and our keynote speaker Samantha Pregenzer of Simply Organized.
Our organizations share such similar values and passion for all things related to organization and productivity that I guarantee you will feel right at home with our Canadian crew! I wanted to give you all some insight into what’s happening at our conference this year, and why I think all of you NAPO members would greatly benefit from attending.
If you have ever attended the NAPO conference then you will fit right in with POC, as we also have a strong emphasis on professional development and strengthening personal interactions and relationships. We offer some amazing break-out sessions and one-on-one coaching time with leading business professionals. Come check out the entire line-up here. I’ve made some incredibly valuable networking connections at previous conferences!
Our conference offers tremendous value, especially for NAPO members. Up until September 29th you can take advantage of our early bird registration rates. For three jam-packed days of conference plus the Saturday evening dinner the price is only $510 dollars (Canadian!!!) for NAPO members. When factoring in the exchange rate you really can’t do better! Oh, and did I mention that breakfast and lunch is also included? Seriously, people, it’s almost criminal not to come!
You’ll also get to experience the incredible city of Toronto. If you’ve never been now is your chance! If you have, you know all there is to do in one of the premier cities in North America. You can even sign up to explore and dine at some of the local Toronto restaurants and continue building on those networking relationships.
The POC conference also offers a wonderful opportunity to advertise your product or service. We’ve still got a few spots open in our digital catalogue, as well sponsorship opportunities for many of the different events happening during the conference, including meals, coaching sessions and more. We’ve got something to fit any budget level. We’re also super excited about our expo this year. Booking a table is an amazing way to reach your core customer base. So many of us use this as an opportunity to discover new products and services that we use the rest of year. Contact: Dennise Conforti at conferenceexhibitorschair@organizersincanada.com to reserve your spot now before it’s all booked!
Every year our conference seems to get better and more rewarding. I hope you all will consider coming as an attendee or sponsoring us in some way.
