CITT’s Rendez-vous
Enjoys Successful
2017 Run in
Saint John
Rendez-vous 2017, CITT/ICTS’s
annual trade show and confer-
ence, went down in Saint John,
NB from Aug. 9-12, with events
hosted at the Imperial Theatre
and Saint John Theatre Compa-
ny, plus social events and tours
that brought some attendees to
destinations throughout the city.
This year’s event built on
the revised schedule introduced
during the 2016 edition, with
the Junk Challenge kicking
off the event on Wednesday
evening. The New Product Show
‘n Tell Breakfast kicked off the
Thursday morning, followed
by the Corporate Luncheon in
King’s Square right across the
street from the Imperial Theatre,
which hosted the annual gear
expo that afternoon. Thursday
night featured the always-popu-
lar Swag Bingo.
Friday hosted the Ladies of
the Backstage Happy Hour, with
a visit to nearby Moosehead
Breweries, while Saturday hosted
the Caucus Plenary Breakfast,
AGM Luncheon, and CITT/ICTS
Awards Banquet in the evening.
“Rendez-vous 2017 was an
exceptional conference thanks
to the expertise of the CITT/ICTS
staff, our Technical Director, Joël
Décarie, and our hard working
student volunteers. Saint John
was endlessly warm and wel-
coming to our organization, the
conference, and our delegates.
The staff at the Imperial Theatre
and Saint John Theatre Compa-
ny rolled out the welcome mats
and were extraordinary to work
with,” says CITT Interim President
Elizabeth Wilkie.
