CH NGE MISA BC 2018 FALL CONFERENCE - NAVIGATING SUCCESSFULLY - Municipal Information Systems ...
Introduction

  From September 10th through 13th, MISA BC will host our annual Fall Conference at the Delta Hotels
  by Marriott Grand Okanagan Resort, in downtown Kelowna. Once again, we hope to welcome
  more than four hundred delegates to our event, where we will provide unparalleled access to
  senior local government decision makers using a balanced format of speaking opportunities, Trade
  Show and networking events.
  With the theme, “Successfully Navigating Change”, this year’s event will see MISA BC adopting and
  navigating a new conference model where our annual event will include Chairs hosting in three
  alternating major centres; Kelowna, Whistler, and Victoria. It appears that we are the victim of our own
  collaborative success, and with more than 460 registrants in Victoria in 2017, we recognize that moving
  forward, we are too large for many municipalities to accommodate. We will instead congregate in
  these three well known destinations, large enough to host our very successful fall event.
  For those of you who joined us in 2014 in Kelowna, change also abounds at the refurbished Delta,
  and in the downtown core, where we look forward to showcasing new venues and event partners
  this time around. The largest city in the Okanagan Valley, Kelowna offers a metropolitan experience
  in a smaller urban setting with easy access by air and land. Kelowna International Airport is
  supported by 60+ daily non-stop flights from across Canada, the U.S. and Mexico including one
  hour flights from Calgary, Vancouver, and Victoria and there is a free shuttle service from the airport
  to the Delta, a 15 minute ride. Driving is direct too, traveling Highway 97 or Highway 33 —four
  hours from Vancouver by car.
  The lakefront Delta, is the region’s premier resort, with recently refreshed accommodations, many
  of which feature picturesque views of Okanagan Lake. Delegates will partake in their new dining
  experience, the OAK+CRU Social Kitchen & Wine Bar, a regionally-inspired restaurant, along with
  over 35,000 square feet of flexible venue space, high-speed Wi-Fi internet, a Grand Ballroom
  which will house the Trade Show, and modern conference room facilities, including full audiovisual
  services. Join us and celebrate change in 2018!

See you this September in kelowna! misa.bc.ca/conference/

                          DAVID MEAD
                          David is committed to a world in which most people wake up inspired to go to work,
                          feel safe while they’re there and go home at the end of the day fulfilled by the work
                          they do. In 2009, shortly after beginning his MBA studies, David met, and was inspired
                          by Simon Sinek and his concept of the Golden Circle. After joining Simon’s team, he
                          started developing content to help Simon share his powerful ideas and in 2012 he
                          began speaking and facilitating workshops to help shift people’s perceptions about
                          leadership and culture. Globally recognized as the ‘how’ guy to Simon’s ‘why’, David
                          has now taken his years of practice on how to discover the Why for any individual,
                          team or organization and presents ideas to those who want to find meaning in what
                          they do.

• FIRST RIGHT OF REFUSAL FOR 2018 SPONSORS
Gold, Platinum and Silver vendors who sponsored an event at the 2017 fall conference will be given the first
opportunity to sponsor the same (or similar, as circumstances present) event this year. Vendors will have until
April 23rd, 2018 to secure event sponsorship for this year’s conference. After this date, all non purchased
sponsored events will be offered on a first-come, first-serve basis to all eligible vendors.

• MISA BC MEMBERSHIP REQUIREMENT
Vendors who participate in the 2018 Fall Conference must be MISA BC members with current paid
memberships. More information on membership, as well as our national vendor program, is available at
www.misa.bc.ca/membership.

• FEE PAYMENT
Sponsorship and speaking engagement fees are payable no later than July 1st, 2018.

MISA BC is a non-profit society, and sponsorship revenue is an important part of the conference funding
model. Late payments affect the society’s cash flow and can threaten our ability to deliver a high quality
conference.

• HOW TO PROCEED
For more information on the conference, including sponsorship and tradeshow, please visit the 2018 MISA BC
Fall Conference website at www.misa.bc.ca/conference.

As in previous years, we anticipate that sponsorship opportunities and speaking engagements will sell
out quickly. Sponsorship opportunities and speaking engagements can only be confirmed by returning
the completed and signed Sponsorship Order Form and Sponsorship Agreement (following page)) to
sponsorship@misa.bc.ca.
