Krista Cameron, Encore Canada

I am a proud Newfoundlander who made Mississauga my home in Feb. 2019 when I excitedly joined the Encore Canada team. Encore is the largest global event production company who specializes in delivering events that transform. In my role as director of industry relations for Canada, I work in business development, client connections and industry association partnerships. I am actively involved in the business events and association industries and currently serve as the president of the Professional Convention Management Association (PCMA) Canada East chapter and on two association councils of which CSAE’s Trillium network council is one. On the Trillium network council,  I’m currently the 2nd vice chair and also serve as the chair of the Trillium network’s awards program and holiday event, as well as the broader CSAE awards program. In 2015, I was humbly inducted into M+IT™s Hall of Fame as Industry Mentor.
