Congress Canada, A Leading DMC In Toronto And Niagara Falls, Is Nominated For ADME International's Prestigious 2012 Best Innovative Event Award

Online, January 29, 2012 (Newswire.com) - It was Congress Canada's Southern-style tailgate party, "Raising the Bar," that caught the attention of this year's executive judging panel. The vibrant event that left both the client and attendees in awe was part of the conference management company's convention agenda. After transforming an empty hall into a lively party and stretching a limited budget, it was no surprise Congress Canada received a nomination in the category of Best Innovative Event, $100,001-200,000.

Congress Canada, a DMC specializing in the Toronto and Niagara Falls area, has long been a leader in delivering exceptional event management services. Always committed to representing both the client's brand and ADME's Best Practices, Congress Canada has set a new standard as a leading DMC in Toronto. This unrivalled professionalism is what led to Congress Canada's inauguration as the first Destination Management Company in Canada to qualify for the Accredited Destination Management Company designation from ADME.

Last year, Congress Canada won the prestigious 2011 Best Destination Marketing Award from ADME for its organization of events with world class meeting planners during the G8 and G20 summits. Top meeting executives were given access to the summits' senior officials and the opportunity to showcase Ontario's natural beauty by floatplane and canoe.

"Congress Canada created a slice of Canadian life to tantalize taste buds, stimulate intellect and hopefully entice them back to Toronto and Muskoka for confirmed business," said Pam Graham, President of Congress Canada.

Congress Canada is proud to be nominated among North America's leading destination management companies. The 2012 ADME International Achievement Awards will be presented on February 18 in Memphis, TN.
