Over 1400 communicators are headed toward the great Maple Leaf this weekend. It’s time for the annual IABC World Conference where communicators gather to share, collaborate, create and enjoy a fun city.
With so many great minds and opportunities, what am I expecting? Here’s my list of top “to dos”.
- Share and learn in a three hour unconference focusing on emerging technologies, trends and the future of communication. (shameless plug for a session I am co-facilitating)
- Develop new relationships that will inspire me and allow me to help others.
- Discover the next big communication thing – social media 2.5?
- Plant the seeds for greater interaction between IABC chapters.
- Reconnect with IABC folks met at past conferences.
- Dive into Toronto culture and enjoy great food and sights. A few things on my cultural list.
- Try Lee on Kings Street for a delicious meal!
- Harry Potter fans will enjoy a special exhibition at the Ontario Science Centre. $5.00 audio tour is a must. Great gift shop too.
- Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) for great architecture and all things cultural.
- Hop on the metro to compare the difference between other subway systems. It’s also a great way to get to know the city.
- The CN Tower of course. Views galore.
- Shopping throughout the different districts.
- Check out the IABC Reception after-party, O Canada Party. I hear it could be crazy fun.
- Start the conversations for next year’s conference.
- Swap my international souvenir at The International Souvenir Swap (TISS) Tweetup 5-6PM on Jun 7.
- Have a blast in all that I do and all that I connect with!
