"From planning to execution the team was ready to promptly offer assistance and knowledge. [...] The event sold out within 48 hours of announcing NWT as the venue, and our attendees commented that this was the best event that they have attended."
Clare Burke, Ensemble Travel Group

"With only positive feedback from our delegates and planning team alike, I would not hesitate to recommend Yellowknife to any planner who is considering NWT as an option for their conference or meetings and would welcome the opportunity to speak to our experiences and sing the merits of Canada’s biggest little city."
Patricia Simpson, Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators

"If you are thinking of bringing your group meeting North of 60° for a unique and magical experience, just do it…our trip to Yellowknife was spectacular. The NWT Tourism Conference Bureau helped us to create a memorable schedule, to make valuable connections across the city, to secure great hotel and conference accommodation, and to find some truly unique Indigenous tourism experiences for the group. The retreat was a huge success for our team, both in terms of their work outcomes and personal and team experiences. I would highly recommend meeting in the NWT."
Tammy Riel, CEO, Fort Chipewyan Métis Nation
