Our readers, particularly our accidental planner™ following, may have been unaware of Cvent's rich venue listings—now they can see and access it through Ignite's website. We're extremely pleased to provide our readers with a service that will save them loads of time."

Ignite magazine and ignitemag.ca burst onto the Canadian meetings, corporate rewards and incentive scene in 2008. Since then, Ignite's contemporary design and writing style, industry knowledge and experienced personnel have captured the market. Ignite is totally and exclusively committed to fostering communication between buyers and sellers in the Canadian business event industry. The owners, Richard Elliott and Debbie van der Beek, launched the original Canadian Meetings & Incentive Travel Symposium (CMITS)/IncentiveWorks in 1991--they know the industry and the event business better than anyone. Their strong following of meeting planners and unlimited access to the most effective means of communicating with them (magazine, website, digital newsletters and social media) will ensure maximum attendance of qualified buyers and planners. Ignite was the recipient of MPI Toronto's 2011 Influence Award and one of the Top Five finalists for "Best Issue" in the Magazine Canada/Canadian Business Press 2011 Awards.
