• building relationships: with the industry, with the regulatory body, with the general public

MARCH 15, 2019 • NANAIMO, BC•

VANCOUVER ISLAND CONFERENCE CENTRE

welcome WE INVITE YOU TO JOIN US FOR OUR 9TH

ANNUAL TRADE SHOW AT THE VANCOUVER

ISLAND CONFERENCE CENTRE IN NANAIMO, BC

This year’s theme focusses on building relationships: with the industry, the regulatory body and the general

public. Positive communication and relationships within the industry and with those connected to it are

paramount not only to our individual success but to successful protection of public health and the environment

through the design, installation and maintenance of onsite wastewater systems.

The 2019 Trade Show takes place on Friday, March 15th, during the course of the annual convention. Delegates to

the convention will participate in presentations and training sessions on March 14 and 16, between which they

have the opportunity to attend the trade show and its attendant technical sessions on March 15.

The WCOWMA-BC Convention and Trade Show has shown steady growth in both exhibitor participation and

delegate attendance each year. This year’s venue will be a table top and floor model show. Exhibitors will be able

to bring in tabletop displays along with mid-to-large size floor displays. Exhibitors are invited to provide technical

presentations on their products in scheduled 30 minute segments throughout this event. Meal and refreshment

stations will be set up in the trade show hall to allow for maximum exposure and networking opportunities.

We look forward to working with you, our supplier and manufacturer base, towards a successful trade show!

entertainment

Damien James is formally trained in Ventriloquism, Magic, and

Special Effects Makeup, and has performed throughout Canada.

He is an International Champion Ventriloquist who has been

performing professionally for more than 20 years.

Damien has been performing professionally for 20 years (since the

age of 12). His interest in magic started when he was six after his

mother bought him a simple Magic Book. Later that same year,

Damien received a Tommy Talker (pull-string dummy) from the

Sears Christmas catalogue… a present his parents (we mean Santa

Claus) regret to this day! Damien is a graduate of The

Maher School of Ventriloquism and was the youngest person

ever to win the coveted ‘Ventriloquist of the Year’ Award at The

Magic Capitol of the World Convention.

Damien creates all of his new characters in his spare time and also works as a special effects artist for film and TV.

He is a current student of Academy Award-Winning Special Effects guru, Dick Smith and his behind the scenes

work can be seen on many TV shows as well as several features on the big screen.

Damien James is the only ventriloquist to fool Penn & Teller!

delegate bag items

We invite all Trade Show exhibitors to include something in our delegate bags. Each person who attends the show

receives a delegate bag. Enclosed within is an array of marketing items. These can range from business cards to

flyers, and even branded merchandise. This is an excellent way to ensure that all delegates take home your

company’s information and maybe something more. People love free stuff and including something in our bags

ensures that all delegates know who you are, even if they miss your booth. Some examples of suitable items are

listed below.

Those planning to participate should ensure they provide no fewer than 250 pieces of their enclosure.

Let us put your swag in the delegate bag!
