<\/p>\n Sport Events Exchange is an in-person business-to-business marketplace activity that connects sport events rights holders (ERHs) and destinations, sports facilities\/venues, and hotels who are members of Sport Tourism Canada.<\/p>\n The Exchange allows participants to briefly meet and explore hosting opportunities in a fast, efficient, and fun \u2018first date\u2019 type of environment. At Sport Events Exchange, we guide Exchange participants on how to match-up with potential event partners that are a good fit and explore future sport hosting partnerships.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”section” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ custom_margin=”0px||0px|0px|false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px|0px|false|false” da_disable_devices=”off|off|off” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” da_is_popup=”off” da_exit_intent=”off” da_has_close=”on” da_alt_close=”off” da_dark_close=”off” da_not_modal=”on” da_is_singular=”off” da_with_loader=”off” da_has_shadow=”on”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ admin_label=”row” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_padding=”||75px|||” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.sporttourismcanada.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/SEE-2.jpg” title_text=”SEE-2″ _builder_version=”4.27.0″ border_radii=”on|25px|25px|25px|25px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text module_class=”no-highlight” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ custom_margin=”||10px||false|false” custom_padding=”||10px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ header_4_font=”|||on|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Historically, the Sport Events Exchange, (aka Speed Dating) has been limited to destinations and event rights holders.

The format is similar to \u2018speed dating\u2019 whereby both parties have a short period of time (8-10 minutes) to determine if there is potential to work together and then a bell rings prompting people to move on to their next appointment.<\/p>\n Vendor Alley<\/a> is the trade show element at SEC.\u00a0 It offers companies the opportunity to set-up kiosks and promote their products and services to SEC delegates during the conference.\u00a0 Each year, approximately 30 exhibitors take part in the trade show and pay the appropriate fees for their kiosk space that is allocated to them in the trade show area. Conference delegates are encouraged to visit booths, pick-up promotional material and speak with company reps who are exhibiting.\u00a0 Exhibit space in Vendor Alley normally sells out well in advance of the Congress so any company interested in exhibiting should confirm their intentions to STC at least 5 months prior to the Congress.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”WHERE AND WHEN DOES SPORT EVENTS CONGRESS TAKE PLACE?” open_toggle_text_color=”#161642″ open_toggle_background_color=”#FFFFFF” closed_toggle_text_color=”#161642″ closed_toggle_background_color=”#FFFFFF” icon_color=”#D60812″ toggle_icon=”||divi||400″ use_icon_font_size=”on” icon_font_size=”30px” open_icon_color=”#161642″ open_toggle_icon=”||divi||400″ open_use_icon_font_size=”on” open_icon_font_size=”30px” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ title_text_color=”#161642″ title_level=”h4″ title_font=”|||on|||||” title_font_size=”20px” body_text_color=”#161642″ body_font_size=”16px” body_line_height=”1.8em” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” border_width_all=”0px” border_color_all=”#161642″ border_width_top=”1px” border_color_bottom=”#ffffff” global_colors_info=”{}” toggle_icon__hover=”\ue046||divi||400″ toggle_icon__hover_enabled=”on|hover”]<\/p>\n Sport Events Congress has typically always been hosted in the spring.
