CSE Expo attendees, show sponsors and other event professionals attended the annual Canadian Special Events Expo’s sold-out opening night party. Doing what event professionals do best, the all-out party was held at both floors of the large UpCountry store on King East. The party was organized by Deb Lewis and her CityEvents team.

Guests could download the App Labb made for the night for a chance to win various prizes through their social media contests.

There were many booths to enjoy including the following:

  • Presidential Gourmet
  • Bucket & Whisk
  • Neptuno Oysters
  • Parts & Labour Catering
  • Photostar
  • The Griffin Gastropub
  • Rome n’ Chariot
  • Cheesewerks
  • Pop-up Coffee Shop

It was all about the Neptuno Oysters team for their incredible selection of seafood delights including oysters and unique toppings. Parts and Labour had impressive selection of cold cuts and fine cheeses among other goodies. Of course the libations provided by The Griffin Gastropub kept the party going all night. It was interesting having the Rome n’ Chariot truck parked outside with food truck Italian delights being brought in by a waiter.

Entertainment included Sarah Violin, Becky Hoops, and Jordan Clark from So You Think You Can Dance, Canada. What an incredible night! No one throws better events than event professionals!
