Ottawa Tourism introduces ThinkOttawa program

Published on : Friday, April 12, 2019

The program demands potential ambassadors by questioning if they are the main innovators in their industry and keen on becoming leader that leaves a legacy. Particularly, to grow more engagement, ThinkOttawa emphasizes four main benefits to becoming an ambassador:

Raised Profile – arranging an international conference can perk up the visibility of the work of an ambassador – as potentially generating additional research funding.

• Affect on Industry – with several international events only ever visiting a city once, it’s a chance to leave behind a legacy in the ambassador’s industry and the city in general.
• Networking – ambassadorship offers an exclusive chance to develop networks, relationships and build research partnerships locally and across the world.
• Recognition – be identified for their efforts in championing an event at annual awards partaken by peers, government leaders and other industry experts.

Also, the program explains the support Ottawa Tourism, Shaw Centre and Invest Ottawa can provide the ambassadors throughout the organizing process:

• Bid Development – ThinkOttawa will work together with ambassadors to arrange a customized and polished bid document and presentation.

• Venue and Accommodation – as destination experts the ThinkOttawa team will advocate and source proposals from venues and accommodation providers.
• Government, Community and Partnership Support – letters of support can be acquired from the main stakeholders, partners and municipal government where applicable to help both the bid and organizing process.
