The 2006 conference was a great success.

46 top executives presented their views on "DEVELOPING TODAY’S PROJECTS – PREPARING FOR TOMORROW’S CALLS".

The conference set the following records;

·        352 attendees

·        38 companies received profiling through Sponsorship events and handout items

·        23 Trade Show booths were sold out four months before the conference

·        90 people attended the Pre-conference reception

·        72 people went on the Furry Creek Field Trip

·        50 people went on the standing-room only Powerex Trading Floor Field Trip

Of course, that was greatly assisted by BC Hydro’s record setting award of 38 EPAs for about $3.8 billion of new IPP projects in July and a plan to issue another Call mid-2007.

Audience members from both IPPs and Crown Corps gave rave revues to the two new Point-Counterpoint debates.

Delegates also liked the sIPP & grIPP Bazaar and Gala Reception more than the previous formal Banquet as they did not get stuck at a table with people they could not make a deal with. Several people said that the food was the best conference food they ever had.
