Keynote Speaker Mid-Canada Boat Show

“Just wanted to drop you a quick note to thank you once again for exhibiting at the Mid-Canada Boat Show (@midcanboatshow )and the Manitoba RV Show & Sale (@manitobarvshow )You truly brought a very unique and compelling element to the show. Your enthusiasm and passion showed with every interaction with our guests. Great stories and I know that you opened the minds of everyone you talked with about photography, paddling and adventure travel. Best of luck and hope to see you again at this years events.” It had been a month or so, and I was now back in BC, since I had bumped into the Show manager at the Mid-Canada Boat Show as just a guest. As we wondered the show and I shared my story, I ended up being gifted a booth for the next day and entirety of the weekend (and then the following for the Manitoba RV Show) to display my expedition gear, share stories and inspire. It was a true honour that created incredible connections! 

Come last month when his familiar name popped up in my emails. I opened the message expecting to see the standard UPCOMING EVENT Email we all receive and I felt sad I knew I wouldn’t be able to attend and reconnect with so many incredible people. Instead I was fighting back tears of joy, excitement and once again honour - 

“ I was wondering if you would be available to join us at this years Mid-Canada Boat Show & Sale, March 5-8 at the RBC Convention Centre? It would be great if you could do 5 - 1/2 hour seminars ( 1-Thur,1- Fri, 2-Sat and 1-Sunday) on our Speakers stage. Our theme this year is "Discover the Water" and your adventures fit perfectly. If you would also like to set up a display for the rest of the time, that would be terrific.” – Dave , Show Manager 

It was a no-brainer! YES! I Am In! I’ll see you there!
