NANCY BRADSHAW IS YOUR FIRST POINT OF CONTACT Phone: 613.266.9045 | 613.256.0597 Email: [email protected] How Cities in Sync works for you Meet Nancy Bradshaw, CMP, (St. John’s), an expert planner and connected industry veteran who guides the process every step of the way. “Instead of dealing separately with three dif erent destination marketing organizations and their suppliers, you work with me and I do all of the work behind the scenes,” explains Bradshaw. Here’s how Cities in Sync personalizes your group’s experience: Get the ball rolling Planners provide a single RFP for three upcoming events and Nancy Bradshaw (St. John’s) collaborates with the leads from the other two cities—David Stempowski (Victoria) and Jenny Dao (Saskatoon)— to create one customized and detailed proposal covering hotels, venues, exclusive incentives and experiences for each of the three destinations. Event Execution During each event, Cities in Sync provides marketing collateral that builds anticipation for the next gathering. When asked to sponsor an aspect of the event, such as the gala dinner, Cities in Sync works with the event committee to showcase the unique aspects of the three destinations. Post-event Cities in Sync hosts postmortems with partners and suppliers on how next year’s event might improve. “We get those conversations going quicker and we all learn together,” says Bradshaw. 3 UNIQUE EXPERIENCES Cities in Sync provides a powerful canvas for memory-making experiences.
