Toronto, ON -- Ignite Business Event Expo (iBE) is back for 2013 with another fresh and absolutely unique trade show experience. The two-day Expo, for people who plan business events, takes place June 19-20 at the Direct Energy Centre in Toronto, and promises to be experiential, informative and fun!
From the same innovative team that brought Ignite magazine to the forefront of the Canadian meetings, incentives and corporate travel market, iBE's unique and stylish format, interactive information sessions and high-energy speakers will inspire and enlighten attendees while offering multiple business-to-business exchange and networking opportunities:
Uncover new ideas: From the Good to Know Theatre that takes learning to a whole new level, to the App Bar for a demo on the hottest apps from industry experts, to the Diva on a Dime Challenge where fabulous tabletop displays are built on a tiny budget—the iBE experience captivates and inspires at every turn.
Find great services: Planners can meet and schedule time with experts from across Canada and around the world to find ideal venues and destinations to host upcoming meetings, conferences and business events.
Meet more top planners: Encouraged by feedback received from the inaugural show in 2012, iBE 2013 will also see an expanded hosted buyer program thanks to strategic partnerships with the Canadian Tourism Commission, Porter Airlines, WestJet and Air Canada.
Visit with ease: New for 2013, all-day shuttle service between the trade show venue, the host hotel and Toronto's downtown core adds one more convenient option in addition to ample on-site parking and frequent public transit.
Watch for on-site rewards: Another exciting plus for 2013: one lucky iBE attendee will be rewarded with a complimentary one-week, all-inclusive stay at the luxurious Moon Palace Golf and Spa Resort in Cancun, Mexico, courtesy of Ignite Magazine and Palace Resorts, including return airfare courtesy of Air Canada Vacations/Air Canada!

Canada Meet Week
Ignite's Business Event Expo is one of several important industry events taking place in Toronto from June 16-20. The MPI-Toronto Education Conference, June 16-18, offers two days of interactive workshops and sessions on topics such as meeting design, event management and supplier negotiations. On June 19, Site Canada's Summer Social is a great opportunity to network with industry peers while supporting a great cause. On June 20, as the iBE Expo comes to a close, all exhibitors and attendees are invited to mix-and-mingle at the iBE After Lounge. And to wrap up the week, the Toronto Chapter of the International Special Events Society (ISES) will host the Canada Meet Week closing event, ISES Ignites, Official After Party.

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.
