PRSM, the Professional Retail Store Maintenance Association, is hosting autumn meeting events on October 3 in Vancouver, and on October 19 in Toronto. The focus will be on education, as well as networking. Two (2) Continuing Education Credits are available towards your RFMP Designation Renewal by attending this event. Registration is now open

These programs are designed for retail facility management professionals who want to step out of their daily routine and look at facility management through a new lens. Each program is a separate interactive experience providing facilities professionals with an opportunity to challenge their thinking. Choose the location best for you as the programs are identical.

The ‘Canada West’ event will be held at the Vancouver Marriott Pinnacle Downtown Vancouver on October 3, 2017 and the ‘Canada East’ event will be held at the Sheraton Toronto Airport Hotel & Conference Centre on October 19, 2017. 

Speakers will include opening remarks by Bill Yanek, CEO, PRSM Association as well as Keynote and Facilitator: Jennifer Spear, President & Creative Strategist, Clean Slate Strategies

There will also be a networking lunch and awards program, and in the afternoon Quick Connect will place retailers at their own exhibit tables during a dedicated two-hour speed-networking event. That will be followed by a networking reception that ends at 3:00 p.m.

Due to the overwhelming positive response to last year’s events, PRSM is bringing back its ‘Quick Connect’ networking component to this year’s Canadian events. Quick Connect replaces a traditional trade show event and places Retailers at their own exhibit tables where Suppliers can visit during the allotted time. Suppliers are urged to bring flyers, information and promotional items to the event.
