You don't really know how important sponsors are to a conference until you are partly responsible for it. As Chair of Canada-e-Connect 2009, I want to send a thank you shout out to all sponsors of Canada-e-Connect 2009, in no particular order: The Canadian Tourism Commission (and Government of Canada), Google, Deloitte, FCV Technologies, Parks Canada, Tourism Toronto (thanks Joel), Via Rail Canada, Banff Lake Louise (thanks Julie), InterContinental Toronto Centre, JackRabbit, Publicite Media Plus, Niagara Falls Tourism, Tourisme Montreal (thanks Carmen), TripAdvisor (Thanks Jim), QuickMobile, Weber Shandwick, Ottawa Tourism (thanks Karen), Tourism New Brunswick (thanks Carol), Baxter Travel Media, Quebec City Tourism, Tourism Yukon.

A special thanks to a small group of last minute sponsors (thank you Errol). SETTLERS BEACH VILLA HOTEL , COURTESY CAR RENTALS and the BARBADOS TOURISM AUTHORITY. These organizations came up with a special prize that we gave away at the end of Canada-e-Connect. The prize consisted of a 7 night stay at the Settlers Beach Villa Hotel, a Car for the week courtesy of Courtesy Car Rentals, and a pair of airline tickets to Barbados courtesy of the Barbados Tourism Authority. While Canada-e-Connect is a Canadian event, and we recognize that, to quote Jerry McGuire, "We live in a world of fierce competitors," we also recognize the international brotherhood and sisterhood in the global tourism industry. In that spirit we were all rather pleased to welcome these Barbados organizations as sponsors of Canada-e-Connect 2009. Merci beaucoup. By the way, the winner of the trip was Mike Berezowski from WorldWeb.com based in Calgary, bon voyage.
