The New OCC Vision
Posted on Fri, Sep 25, 2009
I have traveled and worked all over the world, and I have come back to
Ottawa because it is truly a magnificent city that encompasses
everything that is Canada, from its diverse culture to the breathtaking
sights and exciting nightlife. It is a fusion of culinary culture and
the perfect balance of big city and small town. But something was
missing. It was missing that key factor that would bring people from
all over the world to visit our city, and that was a world class
meeting place. Well that missing key is now a reality and we will be
opening the new Ottawa Convention Centre in April 2011.
With the construction of the new Ottawa Convention Centre it became
apparent that we needed to develop a more interactive and exciting
website to better promote our new facility and the inspired people
behind it. As the construction of the new OCC continues, so will the
construction of this site to reflect the milestones and advancement in
our organization. It is my hope that you agree that the new Ottawa
Convention Centre website is just that, a refreshing interactive and
transparent view of our future facility and our organization.
With the implementation of a new website, we wanted to create areas
where our clients, stakeholders, community and colleagues could
interact with the OCC and feel that connection with an organization
that is here to provide the best in services, facilities and products
that will create memorable and effective meetings… for our clients and
our community at the same time.
I have created this Blog site with the intention of sharing with you my
thoughts on various articles, debates and subjects that will affect our
industry, our community and the OCC. My plan is to make it a blog that
encourages interaction and insight from you. I believe that to be
Canada’s Meeting Place, we need to be considered a place where people
come together to share ideas, opinions and knowledge, and leave feeling
they have gained something from the experience.
The new OCC Vision is “Inspired People Creating Extraordinary Events”.
We hope you’ll be inspired, through our website, to explore the new OCC
and share your thoughts with us.
