The team at the Shaw Centre can be described as nothing short of exceptional – truly a group of consummate professionals. The entire process from contract signing through to the post-conference wrap-up felt like a true partnership and a valued one at that! The state-of-the-art facility speaks for itself and it is very clear that the Shaw Centre and its staff have a true understanding of the events industry and the ever-changing needs of its clientele. I sincerely look forward to my next event at the Shaw Centre.
~Chriss Holloway, Conference Manager, Canadian Conference on Medical Education
I encourage everyone to step inside and experience Canada’s Meeting Place and the people who represent it. They welcome a challenge and they are extremely open to customization to suit you and your guests. I look forward to working with the great people at the Shaw Centre and their preferred suppliers in years to come and hope their eagerness to be the best in the business continues to be fuelled by their collective passion and integrity.
~Claire Mills, Director, Marcom Annual Forum Managing Director, Centre of Excellence for Public Sector
The staff at the Shaw Centre were great. The day of the event, the staff were very accommodating, polite and professional. I really appreciated that they were able to fulfill my last-minute request for a stage ramp, and I appreciated that, though our event was running late, the food staff were able to bring our event back on time by serving and clearing the food efficiently.
~Nicole Bedford, Conference Manager, Cuexpo 2015
The staff were TRULY accommodating to our event which has not been matched anywhere I’ve planned an event previously. Great Job!
~Kalene Debaeremaeker, Event planner, Impact Canada
