WHEN IT COMES to successfully hosting major events, Winnipeg's recent track record speaks for itself. This past year, the city was the scene of one two-week long sporting party as a combined 24,000 athletes and fans descended upon Winnipeg for what was the most- successful Canada Summer Games to date. This came on the heels of what has been a banner period for the city when it comes to being a major host. The 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup, the 103 rd Grey Cup, and the 2016 NHL Heritage Classic have all proved that Winnipeg does wonders with the sporting world, while massive annual conferences like the Federation of Canadian Municipalities – with over 2,200 attendees, Skills Canada – over 10,000 participants, and the 2016 Liberal Party Biennial Convention – with its 2,600 delegates, have shown that our RBC Convention Centre Winnipeg (and indeed the city as a whole) is primed to exceed all your expectations. With a track record like that, just imagine what we can do for your next meeting or convention! Plus, it's not just our newly remodeled and expanded convention centre that will help dazzle delegates. Winnipeg continues to create that inviting small town feel to complement our big city amenities, while throughout your stay you'll encounter world-class attractions, countless arts and culture events, and a creative culinary scene that will ensure that time outside the conference is one to relish. We'd love to show you firsthand how Winnipeg has quickly become one of North America's top convention cities, but until then, please read through this magazine to learn more about our partners who are ready, willing and able to deliver your best-ever event. Cheers and see you soon!
