Brand YOU
At Ignite we're not just big on you,
the event planner. We're also big on
you, the consummate professional.
With that in mind, here's our
thought for the day: How are you perceived by your peers and co-workers:
Are you seen as a born leader? The
one that always goes the extra mile?
The wise mentor?
It's worth taking an objective step
back to review your personal and professional persona and then adjust,
fine-tune or escalate as required.
Finish this sentence: I am or want
to be known as the person that
always________ (enter personal/
professional trait here).
Then be true to your style,
your brand.
Ignite sends hearty congratulations to recently announced industry
leaders—fabulous people who have
clearly defined who they are and how
they're perceived:

Mentor:
Builder:

With summer almost behind us
and noses back to the grindstone,
we wish to remind you to mark your
calendar to attend or exhibit at the
3rd Annual Ignite Business Event
(iBE) Expo, June 18 &19, 2014, in
Toronto. What's our brand essence?
We've been told: iBE's a quality,
upscale source of ideas and inspiration that's Absolutely Unique.
