We regret to announce that this year’s Manning Networking Conference is cancelled. We will gather again March 25-27, 2021 at the Westin Hotel in Ottawa.
Health and safety concerns combined with lower participation make any event at this time largely impossible.
I want to acknowledge the incredible amount of work, planning and investment that goes into an event like this: our staff, sponsors, exhibitors, speakers and many volunteers – thank you! To our vendors and the hotel staff at the Ottawa Westin, I can only imagine the difficulty you are going through at this time. We have a great hospitality industry in this country – we are with you!
This morning we reached out to the various Conservative leadership campaigns to propose the scheduled March 26th leadership debate still go ahead as a live-streamed event. We will keep you apprised.We will be sending separate correspondence to registrants, sponsors, exhibitors and speakers over today and tomorrow with regard to next steps.
