Courtney’s Top 3 Events to Plan

As an experienced event planner, I’ve had the privilege of organizing some incredible gatherings over the years. Today I thought I’d share three events that I love to be involved in and that most definitely keep my passion for event planning running!

Alberta Health and Safety Conference

I’ve had the honor of planning and executing the Alberta Health and Safety Conference for multiple years, and it is one of my favorite events! It’s been so wonderful to see the growth from our early years to now and I truly understand how much value this event brings to the health and safety industry. For those of you who don’t know, the HS Conference brings students, professionals, and experts together for learning through keynote speakers and informative sessions, showcasing the latest safety technology and services in the Safety Hall (trade show), and providing plenty of networking opportunities.

I love seeing the creativity the exhibitors bring to the Safety Hall to showcase their products and services, and listening to the passion the speakers and presenters bring to the stage. There are so many great things about this conference that I could go on for days. My favorite part of playing a key role in this conference is that I have grown such a great relationship over the years, and the board trusts my suggestions and vision for the conference.

Birthdays

As an event planner, I adore planning birthday parties. I’ve been planning birthdays even before my professional event-planning days started! They have always been a passion of mine as it brings me so much joy to be part of creating memorable and magical experiences for individuals celebrating another year of their lives. Birthday parties are a wonderful opportunity to express creativity and bring unique themes to life. Whether it’s a whimsical princess party or a thrilling superhero extravaganza, I love the challenge of transforming a vision into reality, from selecting the perfect decorations to coordinating entertainment that will captivate both the young and the young at heart.

Planning birthday parties allows me to connect with people on a personal level and share in their joy. Every birthday celebration is a reflection of the individual’s personality and interests, and it’s incredibly rewarding to see their faces light up when I make their vision into a reality. The opportunity to make someone feel special and loved on their special day is truly heartwarming. From coordinating surprise elements, to ensuring all the details are just right, I thrive on the happiness that radiates from both the guest of honor and their guests.

Birthday parties are a time of celebration and togetherness, where friends and family gather. Being part of this significant event and witnessing the love and friendship is a privilege. From coordinating activities that bring people closer, to curating a seamless flow of events, I find great satisfaction in creating an atmosphere that fosters connection, laughter, and joy. Seeing the smiles and hearing the laughter that fills the room, knowing that I’ve played a role in making those moments possible, is incredibly fulfilling.

My love for birthdays also led me to curate Decor Crate! Decor Crate is a customized decoration solution that the Planit Events Inc. team puts together just for your special event. Start with the basic Decor Crate and add on more as necessary. It’s a great way to save yourself time, money, and effort! To learn more visit our website!

Go West Experiential Hall

Last but not least, the Go West Experiential Hall is one of my favorite events to be involved in because of the passion and pazazz all vendors bring! From the food and beverage activations at booths, the variety of floor plans from year to year, and getting to be more creative than the typical trade show. 

This event is a playground for event professionals, where creativity knows no bounds. From mesmerizing food and beverage activations, to captivating floor plans, Go West is not your typical trade show. It’s a gathering that brings together vendors with a passion for innovation, providing an opportunity to showcase their products and services while fostering meaningful connections. Take a look at the event website from 2023, it was quite the event!

Each event that I have the privilege of playing a role in, holds a special place in my heart. There are always new wonderful people I get to meet, new learnings, and of course, bringing a client’s vision to life brings me so much joy. If you have an event coming up that you need help with, whether big or small, don’t hesitate to reach out!
