Whistler Conference Centre Extends Partnership with Audio Visual Provider AVW-TELAV

AVW-TELAV announces it has been renamed the official supplier of audio visual equipment and simultaneous interpretation services for the Whistler Conference Centre, in Whistler, BC Canada, effective April 1, 2013. AVW-TELAV has been providing state-of-the-art AV and presentation solutions -- most recently including the additions of social media platforms and mobile applications for conferences -- to the facility, since 1998. Extending a mutually-beneficial partnership, this new agreement is valid for five more years.

"We are thrilled to renew our agreement, as this allows us to continue promoting Whistler as a viable and desirable meeting destination to our client base, which stretches from coast to coast and throughout the US," said Kevin MacKillop, director of operations - western region, AVW-TELAV. "In addition to providing the facility with dedicated, on-site staff and equipment, AVW-TELAV is consistently developing new presentation tools to provide the Whistler Conference Centre and its customers technology-driven solutions to communicate their messages with efficiency and innovation."

With more than 40,000 sq. ft. of versatile meeting space, the Whistler Conference Centre can serve a flavorful, locally-inspired menu for 1,200 attendees, wire a general session for 1,500, or even drive a car into its ballroom. It is located in the heart of Whistler Village, surrounded by shops, restaurants, activities, and accommodation. Gathering at the Whistler Conference Centre is a mountain tradition with an unparalleled meeting legacy.
