BOMEX©2012 to be held in Ottawa - A Capital Place to Gather
July, 2012
BOMEX©2012, Canada’s leading national conference for the Commercial Real Estate industry, will be in Ottawa from September 11th to 13th at the Westin Ottawa Hotel.
First conceived in 1987, because there was no conference/trade show dedicated to the industry, Mr. Bill Partridge of BOMA Calgary proposed the creation of a national conference for the Industry with the objective of pulling together a rather diverse and fragmented group that was dedicated to commercial real estate. After three years of development the first BOMEX was held in Calgary in 1990 and attracted professionals from the Commercial Real Estate industry across Canada. It was also the first year of the national awards program, today known as The Outstanding Building of the Year (TOBY).
BOMEX©2012 marks the 23rd edition of the Conference that brings together the industry for professional development, networking, trade show and recognition of excellence. Unique to the Commercial Real Estate Industry BOMEX© organizes seminars on topics of national interest. In all Ottawa plans to hold 30 topical seminars (see side bar) over the two days as well as have special guest speakers former national television personality and Senator Mike Duffy who will give a behind the scenes look at how Ottawa ticks and Bricker and Wright of Ipsos Reid who bring a witty turn to what is taking place in Canada, and what these trends mean for your organization.
Day 1 (September 11th) will see three significant Networking opportunities for Delegates the BOMEX Golf Tournament at the Grey Hawk Golf Course 15 minutes from the Conference Hotel, the Ottawa Building Tour of some of Ottawa’s most interesting buildings, including a tour of the Aga Khan foundation and the Opening VIP night for all conference delegates who will be entertained and get to meet, or re-acquaint, with each other.
The Conference Trade Show, sold out 3 months in advance of the conference, will feature over 70 booths of the newest products and services for the industry. Delegates will have time over Day 2 and 3 to visit the booths and organize follow up appointments.
Day 2 (September 12th) ends with the Spectacular TOBY Pinnacle Award Evening, hosted by noted actress and comedienne Jessica Holmes, and held at the spectacular Museum of Civilization just across the river in Gatineau, this evening attracts 500 of the industry’s most important and influential members as we salute excellence in building management with the TOBY and Pinnacle awards presentations to the theme of Nature and Architecture in Harmony.
