"Working with Edmonton Tourism and being able to show off just a small portion of our arts and culture to this fine country we live in made us such fine ambassadors of hospitality that you could hear the buzz long after the conference was over. The conference was so successful, memorable and magical we are still receiving accolades months after the fact. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"
Terry Josey, Stage Producer, ARPA/CPRA Conference 2005
