Ambassador Program
The Halifax Ambassador Program is an alliance of individuals who through their association and influence promote Halifax as a premier meetings and conventions destination. Since the Program began in 1983, it has assisted more than 200 individuals in successfully hosting their association’s Halifax conference or event.
Ambassadors are people just like you; people who are proud of their city and its institutions and want to showcase Halifax to their friends and colleagues from around the world. Many associations, whether national or international, often will only come to a particular city if they have a Board or local member who is willing to champion the association’s event. Whether you simply raise the idea and promote the benefits of planning a Halifax meeting or convention, or act as a member of an organizing committee that sees the Halifax conference through to a successful conclusion, the Ambassador Program and Destination Halifax can assist you. Halifax is a fabulous conference destination, and through you we can invite the World to meet here.
Discover how the Destination Halifax suite of Halifax Meeting and Convention services can help you host a successful Halifax conference, convention or event, and be sure to contact Jeff Turner to learn more about the Ambassador Program.
