			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;It was an huge  pleasure working with you in New York. You were a hit with the client and the  staff. Thanks for your unwavering efforts and great attitude.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Sheila  Wong, BBW International  Inc (Project: Architectural Digest Interior Design Show/The Artist Project)</strong></p>
<p>____________________________</p>
<p>&#8220;Organizing a special evening for clients and industry stakeholders is never easy, but doing it within a few weeks and from the other end of the country can be a daunting task.  From finding a location that would fit our group to providing me with insightful site visit notes, finalizing the décor just before the evening to closing all the details right after, Kevin provided valuable assistance through the entire process.  He was professional and fun to work with.  He always had quick and honest answers to my frequent questions.  I would not hesitate to recommend Kevin to anyone who needs someone they can trust to organize an event.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Caroline Phaneuf, Marketing Strategy Analyst, Nova Bus, St-Eustache, QC</strong></p>
<p><strong>____________________________</strong></p>
<p>Kevin was professional, detailed, flexible, and often went above and beyond his role to ensure that the conference was a success.  It was a pleasure working with Kevin and I, without hesitation, recommend him as your international or regional conference planner.</p>
<p><strong>Director,  Office of the Vice President, Administration and Finance  (2008)</strong></p>
<p>_______________________________</p>
<p>“Kevin has worked as a sub-contractor to my event business since 2006.  Kevin has proven himself to be consistent, detailed oriented, and completely reliable.  His work ethic is outstanding and he delivers what he promises.”</p>
<p><strong>Sharon Bonner, President, Bight Ideas Event Coordinators</strong></p>

<p>Take 100 or so Canadian and American researchers, add politicians, university presidents, and a consul general or two. The Bunson burner was hot on my heels during this extremely high-profile meeting between Canada and the United States&#8211;exploring collaborative research initiatives.</p>
<p>From planning to fundraising, and on-line registration to two intense days of talks, I kept this scripted event under budget, and created a great success for my client&#8211;the University of British Columbia.</p>
