2014 Recreation Connections Manitoba Conference Tradeshow
Recreation Connections Manitoba is excited to host its 18th annual conference February 26 – 28, 2014 at the Victoria Inn
and Conference Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and extend to your organization the opportunity to promote your products
and services to the recreation sector.
Recreation Connections Manitoba (RCM) is a provincial organization working alongside, and for recreation professionals.
Established in 1996, Recreation Connections Manitoba grew from the need to provide an organization that was serviceoriented and open to professionals, practitioners and volunteers in the recreation, sport, parks and leisure industries in
Manitoba.
The annual conference is your best opportunity to directly engage members of the recreation, parks, health, volunteer,
sport and leisure sectors in Manitoba. By becoming an exhibitor at the Recreation Connections Manitoba Provincial
Conference, you will benefit from our long-standing relationships with those who work and volunteer to improve the quality
of life in our province.
Tradeshow Highlights
Each year RCM strives to put on the best tradeshow possible. Here are some of the highlights of our ongoing efforts.

Hours of Operation
o Based on feedback that 2 hours was not long enough and our 5 hour tradeshow last year was too
long, this year the tradeshow will be 3 hours in duration, at which time no sessions will be
offered so that delegates can focus on the tradeshow.

Virtual tradeshow
o All tradeshow exhibitors will be featured in an online tradeshow both before and after the
conference on the Recreation Connections Manitoba website, including links back to your
organization’s website. This will give conference delegates a chance to plan a visit to your booth
at the tradeshow or help them follow up with you after the event is over. If you have special offers
or promotions you would like us to link to, please be sure to provide us with the link.

Twitter advertising
o During the tradeshow we will be displaying a Twitter feed on a large screen, giving you the
opportunity to promote to delegates the reasons they should visit your booth and how they can
find you. Be sure to follow @Rec_Connections and use the hashtag #RCM14 for any tweets you
would like our delegates to see.
