Meet in Kelowna

Last week, Nicolle Gomez de Sousa travelled to Edmonton, representing Tourism Kelowna at Innovate Canada, a signature event designed by Destination Canada to bring together global association leaders and corporate executives who are paving the way for advancements in #agriculture. Nicolle was joined by the Central Okanagan Economic Development Commission’s Economic Development Officer, Eva Weston. Together, our dynamic duo visited the InnoTech Alberta campus in Vegreville, Innovate Alley's Farmfair International, and the innovation hub at the Leduc Food Processing Development Center. Throughout the trip, they also showcased the award-winning OKGo campaign, highlighting the Central Okanagan’s agriculture success stories and showcasing the possibilities our region offers for hosting meetings and conferences, business investment, and talent attraction. Thank you to Destination Canada for this fantastic opportunity and Explore Edmonton Corporation for being such wonderful hosts! #meetinKelowna #meetinCanada #InnovateCanada #agtech #meetingsandevents #businessevents #economicsectorstrategy

Excited to be participating in my first Innovate Canada, a signature event designed by the incredible team at #DestinationCanada along with tremendous support from #Parleview. The first full day has already been a remarkable experience. We had the opportunity to visit the InnoTech campus in Vegreville, an incredible hub for innovation, specifically in agriculture, where we explored cutting edge processing and research along with the technology that supports it. The day has been filled with meaningful discussions over locally sourced meals, bringing together global association leaders and corporate executives who are paving the way for advancements in agriculture. Meeting with experts from around our country and the world, is a reminder of the power in collaboration and how business events act as a catalyst that propels economic development and innovation. Looking forward to more inspiring conversations and insights throughout the week. #InnovateCanada #MeetinKelowna #collaboration #destinationdevelopment

We appreciate the funding our organization has secured through Destination Canada's International Convention Attraction Fund (ICAF)! "ICAF's strategic support not only enhances Kelowna's attractiveness as a host city but also fosters long-term economic growth that aligns with our destination development objectives by driving high-value business tourism and attracting new international audiences," says Tourism Kelowna's Interim Department Head, Business Development, Nicolle Gomez de Sousa. "This initiative, focused on collaboration and partnership, aligns perfectly with Kelowna’s strengths, setting a strong foundation for the city to continue advancing as a premier conference destination in Canada." #meetinKelowna #meetinCanada #meetingsandevents #businessevents
