Special Event and Conference Planning
Initiating and organizing major conferences and public events can be a daunting task. So why start from ground zero and leave much of the event planning to chance?

We can take the worry out of planning, organizing, and running events in a polished, professional, and cost-effective fashion. We make it much easier to establish a theme, identify speakers, and develop a winning, engaging conference, symposium, or public education program.

We bring much experience to the formidable challenge of initiating, planning and coordinating national, regional, or local public events. Our Director is widely known for his role in initiating and organizing major professional development conferences, lively public issues forums, dynamic youth conferences, and news-breaking media conferences.

Since 1983, Paul has founded and coordinated such successful ventures as the Ontario Conference of Independent Schools (CIS) ’90 Conference (November 1990), the UCC World Affairs Conference (1983-88), the Destiny Quebec Youth Conference (1999-2005), the Ontario Student Model Parliament at Queen’s Park (1986-1997), the Historica Summer Institute for Canadian History Teachers (2001-2003), and the Atlantic Conference of Independent Schools (ACIS) Professional Development Conference (January, 2007). Along with many strategic planning workshops and educational leadership sessions, he has also organized numerous public media conferences in Toronto, Montreal, and Halifax.

You can count upon Schoolhouse Consulting to make your special public event happen!
