What does it take to pull off a 3-Day Event with over 130 guests from around the globe? 🌎
It takes A TON of planning behind the scenes to make it all come together.
Timelines, logistics, transportation schedules, vendors, weather plans, last-minute changes, a million little details, and plenty of “how are we going to pull this off?” moments. 😂
This year I had the absolute pleasure of helping coordinate the 2026 Thinkers Summit again.
This was ThinkOn’s third year back to North Bay for their summit, but that doesn’t mean they get the same experience twice.
What I love about working with ThinkOn is their genuine love for North Bay, and their enthusiasm to have a truly northern experience.
For many of the Thinkers, this is their first time meeting members of their team offline and in person!
Thank you to Kelsey Ingram from ThinkOn for all her incredible hard work leading up to and during the summit. She has a vision, and together we get the fun of bringing it to life! My summit partner in crime 😉
Together, we strive to create unique experiences with surprises around every corner.
We planned a “Back to the Future” themed dinner with partners at Black Saddle Estate.
Delicious BBQ themed dinner catered by THE NOBLE STEED.
Thank you to Liam at Haul Stars for moving all the furniture!!! 💪
The Delorean stole the show! Cory Whitehead
I mean, just look at it! 😍
And that view! STUNNING.
Themed cocktails and mocktails for the Thinkers with help from Kimberley Kirk bartending services.🍻
Pssst…. Black Saddle Estate doesn’t JUST do weddings! It was the perfect venue for our corporate event! 😍
lonelyheartsto rocked the stage for the evening! These guys are hugely talented! Can’t recommend them enough! ❤️
Dinner at The Boat North Bay followed by the Pre-Block Party downtown.
The Broome Turners provided musical entertainment for our night at The Cove where we had a truly northern Bear’s Fish Fry on Trout Lake.
🎯🏐🦈
Thank you to the The City of North Bay for working with us to host our event at The Cove, and to Cranberry Canoes for supplying kayaks, canoes and paddle boards for our thinkers.
Thank you to everyone who made this year’s summit a success! Canadore College
Here’s to 2028! 🎉
