While on a tour of the new Fredericton Convention Centre with my local Rotary Club, it occurred to me that this would be a great facility to host the Canadian Association of Optometrist (CAO) conference that I attend every year. I mentioned this to Erin Blanchard at FCC, who contacted the appropriate person at the Ottawa association office, and the rest is history! I am eagerly anticipating welcoming my colleagues from across the country for CAO Congress 2015. Kudos to Erin and the FCC team for doing the leg work required to convince the CAO staff that Fredericton will meet all their conference needs. It is going to be a lot of fun!

From event planner Judith Mackin’s blog:
. . . . .amazing the team of the Fredericton Convention Centre was to work with. Kara Nicholson, my ‘go-to’ contact was absolutely unwavering in her commitment to working with me on every single detail. And her leadership showed through her entire team; everyone shared the same goal to make our event flaweless. I assure you it is no easy feat feeding 500 in a dining hall style, working around two stages and a demanding event planner (me!). In addition, both Alex Green and Phil Deamers from the audio visual side of things couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating…and just a lot of fun!

I just wanted to convey a big thank you on behalf of the Board of Directors for the excellent evening that was facilitated by the Fredericton Convention Centre.
The social hour site proved to be very suitable for the pre-dinner gathering. The food provided for the main event was exceptional and we received very high compliments from our visiting guests. They requested that I pass along their compliments to the Chef with respect to the preparation and selection of the food provided.
Additionally, the staff on hand were very accommodating throughout the evening.

I am writing to thank you and your staff for ensuring the 2011 SouthEastern United States and Canadian Provinces Alliance Conference was the success it was.
I would particularly like to acknowledge the contribution of Kara Nicholson, whom I understand was always able to accommodate requests made by the conference organizers and able to find a solution to any problems encountered before and during the conference itself.
The dedication and commitment of all the staff at the Fredericton Convention Centre was noted and appreciated.

Just a sincere note to let you know how much your assistance was valued both prior and during our conference.
Right from the start, the Fredericton Convention Centre (FCC) impressed us with their efficient, professional manner – an approach that not only inspired confidence, but generated the result we were looking for.
From their state-of-the-art facility, to their helpful, knowledgeable, friendly staff, our experience with FCC confirms that we would not hesitate in using their venue again for future conferences or meetings.

I wish to thank you and your staff for a delightful tour of the convention centre. Erin was a wonderful guide and ambassador for the centre throughout our visit. I was most impressed by the centre’s leading edge design and use of digital technology. The food we savoured was outstanding and presented with such flair. Please tell the Chef that I am still dreaming of and raving about his banana bread trifle.
