Welcome to Planners Plus

Think about this... The G8 Religious Leaders Summit, Truth and Reconciliation Commission, Grand Opening of the $ 160M Richardson’s canola crushing plant, a week long Summer Institute, Interlake Regional Health Authority, International Centre for Infectious Disease and the MBCI Grad – and those were just in June!! What a six months we have had here at Planners Plus. It has been such an honour for us to have been involved in so many historic and important events. Personally I was extremely touched by being the recipient of the Meeting Professional International’s Builder Award in late June. This is a recognition by my peers of my commitment to having event management and meeting planning acknowledged as a profession and for mentoring of those interested in the field. Thanks to my team for being part of the success of Planners Plus! July has many of us taking a well deserved, and necessary, holiday break. See you in September!

2009 Marks 20 Years As An Event Planner

On February 1st, 2009 Carmen celebrates 20 years as an event planner with hundreds of successful conferences to her credit. "Who knew that what started out as reluctant entrepreneurship would turn into such an amazing business and employment for so many people", said Carmen Neufeld. "The first event was a small conference for the Manitoba Federation of Labour who told two friends, who told two friends, and on and on", she added.

Another Successful Year

2008 ended with a return of so many valued clients such as the Manitoba Renal Program, MAST, Aboriginal Education Research Forum and Safety Services Manitoba to name just a few. We welcomed some wonderful new clients who are now moving over to the list of "repeats"! We worked on health care, education, professional, entrepreneurial, aging and Aboriginal related conferences. Conservatively speaking, we put through over 20,000 delegates or event attendees. It is realistic to estimate that Planners Plus clients contributed more then 10 million dollars to Manitoba's economy in the past 12 months.

We are halfway through 2008

...and the Planners Plus team has been very busy. The highlight of our year was the successful completion of the World Conference on Breast Cancer. We were honoured to work with the Winnipeg Free Press in the first daily ‘Pink Paper” in North America. Over 700 people participated in this amazing conference with over 400 being part of the silent walk to the Legislative Building and the Pink Lady tribute.
