Tourism Marketplace PEI

Interested in getting more business and packaging your products, experiences or venues for the meetings market?

Meetings and Conventions Prince Edward Island, in cooperation with the Cavendish, Beaches and the Dune Shores Tourism Association, Central Coastal Tourism Partnership, TIAPEI and the Tourism Advisory Council (TAC), are hosting a business-to-business MC&IT marketplace.

The event will held at the Delta Prince Edward, Wednesday, March 7th, 2012.

The day will begin with a perspective on Meetings and Conventions with a Strategy 2015 lens, presented by TAC and a Meetings and Conventions PEI overview of business opportunities in this market.

This will be followed by Key Note Speaker, Lynn Buckley of Agenda Managers - www.agendamanagers.com -  a leading meeting planning company based out of Halifax, Nova Scotia.  

“In more than 20 years in this business, I have talked more people into doing new and different things than I could have ever dreamed of. Every day, I get to sell an idea, move a mountain to make it happen and convince clients, suppliers and my own team that it is doable.” 
Lynn Buckley

Following the presentations, the business-to-business marketplace will begin.

The marketplace will be divided into two business groups – Sellers and Buyers. Space is limited, so both groups are encouraged to register early.

Sellers are defined as Tourism Events, Restaurant/Culinary, Retail/Gift, Golf, Attractions, Tour/Activity and Entertainment based businesses that have product to offer to the buyers.
Sellers will be seated at booths and will take appointments with the buyers.

Buyers are defined as Accommodations, Transportation, Tour Operators or Tourism Packagers that wish to develop package offerings for their clients. Buyers will request appointments prior to the event with the Sellers who are seated at the booths.
Registration deadline for buyers is February 29th.
