The draft agenda for the 2010 EDABC conference has been released and can be found by clicking here. Destination Osoyoos announced the following in their February 24th newletter. "Osoyoos has been chosen as the host community for the 2010 Annual General Meeting & Conference of the Economic Development Association of British Columbia (EDABC), the provincial organization for economic development officials from communities across the province. "Destination Osoyoos made a bid and the selection marks the first time Osoyoos has had the opportunity to host this major event," Destination Osoyoos Chief Executive Officer Glenn Mandziuk says. "We are very pleased and honoured to be selected and expect that nearly 150 delegates and partners will be here for the [May 30 - June 1], 2010 conference," he says. The group will hold their three-day event at the new convention facility that will open up later this year as part of the multi-million dollar Phase 2 development of the Spirit Ridge Vineyard Resort & Spa, in the NK'MIP Resort area on the east side of Osoyoos. Mandziuk notes that Convention organizers are now discovering Osoyoos as an excellent place to host major events citing the Southern Interior Local Government Association's (SILGA) Annual General Meeting and Convention will be in the community from [May 30 - June 1], 2009 hosted at the Sonora Community Centre as an example. SILGA is made up of elected officials from cities, towns, villages and regional districts throughout south-central B.C. "Attracting these types of conferences is a key part of our program to promote and diversify Osoyoos' tourism industry," Mandziuk says." Details on the conference are forthcoming and can be found here on EDABC.com as they are released. |
