Candy's Launch Pad to Becoming a More Purposeful Planner
October 16 - 18, 2026 • The Alt Hotel, University District • Calgary, Alberta, Canada
Dear Planner,
If we learned anything from the last few years, we now know becoming an event planning leader isn’t about climbing higher, it’s about going deeper.
To become unshakable in our planning work we must get grounded in who we are, what lights us up, and what our purpose is in our planning. Then, from that place of purpose we can be ready to grow personally, professionally, and in our event planning work!
The Ultimate Event Experience is Candy's face to face, one-of-a-kind, intimate, interactive, weekend getaway that will help you become an unshakable event planning leader who knows “the sky’s the limit”!
If you are planning and promoting events for your business, organization or group this just might be the experience you are looking for to help you get grounded in yourself and growing in your planning work.
