Once you decide to Take the Lead, Discover Halifax works with you to:

EXPLORE THE EVENT OPPORTUNITY

Does Halifax have the facilities, capacity, and expertise needed to host the event? We’ll find out.

If so, let's 'bid'….

CREATE A COMPELLING PITCH

We help put Halifax’s best foot forward to the event organizers by developing a ‘pitch’ with truly compelling reasons to choose Halifax as next stop for their event.

We have a nibble….

BRING ORGANIZERS FOR A VISIT

Some event organizers may need to see venues in-person and experience the culture that is uniquely Nova Scotian, before making their final decision. We can help coordinate that visit.

Once Halifax is selected….

CONNECT THE DOTS

Large events take many partners. We can help connect event organizers with the right resources. Think accommodations, facilities, transportation, food & beverage, industry experts, offsite activities, and experiences.

Now it's time to celebrate…

EAST COAST WELCOME

We can help prime the local business community, so attendees feel a warm welcome from the city when they arrive and are able to maximize their Nova Scotia good time.
