The Kivalliq Trade Show is gearing-up for its 10th anniversary edition in Rankin Inlet when it opens on Sept. 23 SA国际影视传媒� and there is a lengthy list of exhibitors.
Kivalliq Trade Show Society president Megan Pizzo-Lyall said this year's theme is, A Year of Celebration.
She said the trade show will use the new arena opening soon in Rankin and the plan is to pair the show with the art market.
SA国际影视传媒淲hen people enter the arena, they will have to go through the art market to reach the trade show, so they will see what the region has to offer in terms of art, sewing, photography and all that beautiful stuff,SA国际影视传媒� said Pizzo-Lyall.
SA国际影视传媒淗opefully, the community hall will be renovated by then so we can host both the meet and greet and the gala dinner in there.
SA国际影视传媒淲e always have new society members working together to accomplish the trade show, and we're always building upon new ideas.
SA国际影视传媒淲e're going to be focused a lot on utilizing the new spaces we'll have access to and increasing the overall number of exhibitors we have this year.SA国际影视传媒�
Pizzo-Lyall said the promoting of networking and communication is the whole idea behind the trade show.
She said there is also a delegation coming to the show from Northern Manitoba this year.
SA国际影视传媒淭he Kivalliq has so much to offer. We've overcome different obstacles for small business start-ups SA国际影视传媒� and the ones growing from small to medium SA国际影视传媒� and we have the opening of the Amaruq property this year, which is huge.
SA国际影视传媒淥ur partnership with Agnico Eagle Mines (AEM) is not formalized, but we now have a couple of its members with our society and helping specifically with the Kivalliq Entrepreneur program.
SA国际影视传媒淪o, we're beefing-up that program and aiming to hit another Kivalliq community with it later this year.
SA国际影视传媒淲e're hoping to introduce the program to a community some time during the winter, when people are more available.SA国际影视传媒�
To Pizzo-Lyall, one thing that sets the Kivalliq Trade Show apart from the Nunavut Trade Show and the Kitikmeot Trade Show is its society status.
Pizzo-Lyall said it's a group of volunteers behind the Kivalliq Trade Show who, every year, are able to pull off the show.
She said the society does have a couple of paid positions for show co-ordinators, who really contribute to its success.
SA国际影视传媒淭he vast majority of us are volunteers and we work together for the good of the collective to run an amazing show,SA国际影视传媒� said Pizzo-Lyall. SA国际影视传媒淚t's important to have this forum to be able to discuss new business, funding or partnership opportunities.
SA国际影视传媒淎nd, Community Day provides a great opportunity for exhibitors to promote their business, as well as their availability for funding or partnership arrangements.
SA国际影视传媒淚 really believe in it.SA国际影视传媒�
