From the beginning of the project through to completion, Golden Planners worked collaboratively with Public Health Agency staff to deliver an exceptional conference in a very short time frame. The event was a great success largely because of the experience, professionalism, focus and dedication of you and your staff. Feedback from many sources indicates that this ninth high-profile conference was the best yet and I would have no hesitation in recommending your services to other government departments or agencies.

GPI has consistently been a strong backstop for the aspects of the event in which they been involved - namely registrations and event logistics, including onsite - with an attention to detail that, in our experience, has been difficult to match. Furthermore, GPI has also been a dependable business partner. Jessica Ward and her team who managed the conference for us, are always ready to bring their considerable expertise in suggesting altnerate solutions and offering assistance, all in the interest of delivering a first class event.

For our 2010 Conference and Trade Show we wanted to make sure we had the best conference ever and you were a big part ofthis success. From the beginning, your involvement has been of immense help, whether it was advice on programming or new sponsorship properties to managing the conference suppliers. Your Timed Order of Proceedings, including the remarks to be delivered by the Master of Ceremonies and our President, was critical as a risk management tool and convenient as a single source for the unfolding of the event. On-site you and your staff ensured the smooth operation of the Conference and the Trade Show, Exhibitors even commented to me about how friendly and frequent your communications were with them on behalf of CNA. In fact it was not just exhibitors, but also sponsors, participants and suppliers who were complimentary about the conference planning services this year.

Since 2002, Golden Planners has provided event planning and management services to the AUTO21 Network of Centres of Excellence. Our events are regarded by attendees as top-notch, and this is largely due to the advance and on-site assistance provided by the GPI team. Our annual conferences move around the country and attract between 200-450 attendees. We have also held joint conferences with other associations. Regardless of the location, size or number of organizers, GPI has consistently met our expectations in delivering excellent service at a reasonable price.

GPI's assistance in developing order of magnitude estimates for the conference, developing the financial models to guide the steering committee in selecting a venue and determining price structure for delegates, and guiding registration policy issues for on-line registration are just a few of the contributions that stood out in the early stages. The detail and rigor of your established processes and tools was invaluable to CCSA and its committees as we wrestled with some difficult questions throughout the planning and execution. On-site your registration system was flawless and your staff courteous and efficient. Your leadership in handling the last minute issues with the hotel is a sign of a great deal of experience and expertise. The fact that Issues of Substance 2005, CCSA's first national conference, was such an unqualified success is due in large measure to your guidance and support.

Your understanding of the Métis and aboriginal peoples was an important component of your services and showed in the consultative advice you provided during the planning and execution of the event. Although our timeframe was extremely short given the scope and size of the event by virtue of procedural developments, you always engaged with enthusiam and professionalism. On-site, you and Amelia made all our participants feel welcome and at home.

When the CPPC transitioned from a fully-staffed head office in Quebec City to outsourced Secretariat Services with Golden Planners, the changes were totally transparent to our membership. Golden Planners took care of all the details and implemented the new membership database and accounting tracking system very efficiently and expertly. The end result was improved systems and reporting capabilities implemented by Golden Planners which CPPC still benefits from to this day.

I am writing on behalf of the entire IAEA CEG membership to extend our heartfelt gratitude and highest appreciation to Golden Planners Inc. for the organisation and administration of the subject event last week. The entire event could not have been conducted any better. All delegates from the 12 attending countries commented most favourably on the excellence of the entire event in regard to its set up and organisation.

Now that the Fifth Annual Network Conference is behind us and as we begin work on the sixth in Calgary, I wanted to take this opportunity to express the Network's collective appreciation for our partnership with Golden Planners. While I have expressed countless times verbally how much I enjoy working with the GPI team, I want to formalize this recognition for you to share with others....But it is when one comes to logistics that your star shines brightest. I know that with GPI on our side, I don't have to stress about how the meeting will unfold from an execution point of view. GPI has practices in place to make sure that all contingencies that can be possibly foreseen are accounted for. The Timed Order of Proceedings™ is an outstanding risk mitigation tool which as far as I know is unique to Golden Planners. The Annual Network Conference is a three day event which attracts almost 300 attendees. CLLRNet would not think of hosting this event without the support and guidance of Golden Planners Inc.

I would strongly recommend Golden Planners to other organizations....Golden Planners did a wonderful job organizing all the details prior to the Child Care Conference and during the three-day event itself, which attracted over 600 participants. The team was always helpful and possessed the knowledge to give us the best possible service. Having Golden Planners handle our conference gave us peace of mind, knowing all the details were under control and that the delegates were well looked after…They provided us with exceptional service.
