The Bid Committee

With unwavering determination and meticulous planning, the bid committee worked tirelessly to submit a successful bid for hosting an international congress like no other. Countless hours were spent researching, strategizing, and crafting a compelling proposal that showcased the destination's unique charm, world-class facilities, and unparalleled hospitality. Their collective efforts reflected a unity of purpose, with each member contributing their expertise to create a bid that left no doubt in the minds of congress attendees.

The bid would not have been successful without the collaboration and assistance to the bid committee by Tourism Calgary. Tourism Calgary joined the team and dedicated almost a year to working on the bid. It is only with their help that the committee was able showcase the best of Calgary and helped us create a compelling proposal that truly highlighted the city's unique attributes and capabilities. The collaboration with Tourism Calgary was a testament to the strength of our partnership and the shared goal of promoting this incredible destination to the world.
