Canada’s major Destination Marketing Organizations, Hotel Brands, Tourism Associations, Search Engines, Technology Companies and Tourism Marketing experts gathered for the 3rd annual Online Revealed Internet Marketing Conference in Calgary May 12-14, 2008 where attendees networked, shared online marketing best practices and were introduced to new technology and trends.
20 May 2008 – Calgary, Alberta – The Online Revealed Internet Marketing Conference held May 12-14 at the Hyatt Regency in Calgary, Alberta hosted over 230 of Canada’s leading tourism professionals including Destination Marketing Organizations, Hotel Brands, Tourism Associations, Search Engines, Technology Companies and Tourism Marketing experts. Over the two day event, 16 workshops, 3 panel discussions and 3 keynote presentations addressed critical issues influencing tourism in Canada - with content presented by tourism professionals and internet marketing experts in a non-intimidating, interactive and fun atmosphere.
Co-produced by Yahoo! Canada and A Couple of Chicks e-Marketing, and supported by industry leaders such as Orbitz, Travelocity, TravelZoo, TIG Global, MSN, Booking.com, Travel Alberta and Niagara Falls Tourism, the 2-day internet marketing conference provided the forum for sharing information with industry professionals on pertinent topics such as social media, web 2.0, managing online and offline content, and selling Canadian travel on the internet in a global marketplace.
Highly attended social networking events included the opening May 12th reception hosted by Destination Partner Travel Alberta, the May 13th “Toast to Canada” Travelzoo celebration, and the closing event presented by Niagara Falls Tourism, Destination Partner for the 4th annual Online Revealed Internet Marketing Conference which will be held next May, 2009 in Niagara Falls.
Destination Partner Travel Alberta launched the conference by showcasing innovative social media marketing initiatives. Highlights of the conference included a keynote presentation by Kyle MacDonald, the one red paper clip guy, who inspired the attendees by sharing his amazing journey, to trade one red paper clip of their own for something “bigger and better” throughout the two-day event. Active trading included an Icefield helicopter tour for four, a guest spot on the “Get Connected” TV show, and even the Travelocity Gnome - proving the power of social networking online and off that will continue post conference.
The Tips from the T-List Bloggers Summit brought together a panel of travel industry bloggers who have successfully produced, and are actively using blogs to market their tourism brand. This highly attended workshop will become a full panel presentation at the 4th annual Online Revealed Internet Marketing Conference to be held in Niagara Falls, in May 2009, and the 1st annual Online Revealed Caribbean Internet Marketing Conference in Puerto Rico September 18-19, 2008.

The Winner of the Red Paper Clip Challenge!
May 20, 2008
Online Revealed Canada kicked off the 2008 conference with the introduction of the “Red Paper Clip Challenge!” The trading picked up speed the entire conference as attendees competed for an airfare, hotel and conference registration to the First Online Revealed Carribean Conference this September! I am pleased to announce the winner unamouisly was Trevor Tessier from Travel Alberta! Even though he was not there to tell his story…he wrote it out for Chris Lamb to tell! Here is the winning trade story…
”I am here on behalf of Trevor Tessier of Travel Alberta. Trevor had to leave after the sessions today to make it back on time to teach his classes.
Trevor jumped on the trade challenge right away making a run to the front desk. Aftering pestering Mike for a room upgrade he ended up with acess to the Regency Club on the 18th floor.
His next trade was one he thought everyone at this conference could use and tracked down Patricia of A Couple of Chicks. He aquired an excellent trade receiving a web site diagnostic valued at $500
He then wanted to trade that for an “experience” After buggin a few people at the conference an idea popped into his head. He thought a helicopter tour would be cool. So at the end of the sessions yesterday he called Icefield Helicopter Tours. After rambling on about a paperclip, a conference challenge and a trade, Ralph from Icefield Helicopter Tours didn’t miss a beat abd offered up a Glacic Ice Trip for 4 poeple valued at $900. Pretty Sweet!
He has heard a few trade offers for the tour but decided that he was done trading. Even if he doesn’t win the trip he is happy his red paper clip got him one heck of an anniversary gift for the end of the month!
Oh, and Patricia he is accepting bookings for next year’s conference as the new red paper clip guy!”
Congratulations Trevor!!!!!!!!!
The Red Paper Clip Challenge!
