The doors open at 8:45am PDT for registration, networking, and a light breakfast; programming will begin at 9:30am. We will end around 4:30pm with some prize give-aways, don’t forget to put your name in the bowl at registration!

Growing Relationships is at the Manteo at Eldorado Resort (3762 Lakeshore Rd, Kelowna). We will be in the Waterfront Ballroom & Patio. Look for signage in the lobby of the Manteo hotel at the resort.

► Bring your government-issued ID, this is an age-gated event.

Our event room opens up to our exclusive outdoor lakeside patio. This space will be available for informal networking throughout the day, and for the industry speed-dating if the weather cooperates. You may also wish to enjoy your lunch al fresco, so come prepared!

The Eldorado Resort has very limited parking available, typically used for guests registered at the hotel. However, the Kelowna Public Parking lot is right beside the hotel, and there is a parking lot at Gyro Beach just a short walk from the venue.

The Eldorado Manteo Resort Event Parking Fee is $15 per day. QR codes will be available in the event room for you to scan, register & pay for your parking. Or, you can register & pay at the hotel’s front desk.

The hotel lot is limited and on a first-come-first-served basis. There is also a public space in the Kelowna Public Parking lot on Cook Road, located directly in front of Hotel Eldorado, for up to $11.00 a day or $1.65 per hour.

This is a fun and fast-paced experience! We strongly encourage you to practice and perfect your B2B elevator pitch before you arrive: craft a concise 1-minute introduction to introduce your business, your brand and your current products.

PLEASE NOTE: the elevator pitch applies to Producers and Services primarily, as you will be presenting your business to the retailers. Retailers: we recommend you bring business cards to share with those you make connections with!

We’ll guide you through this fast-paced activity with the goal of making impactful connections that can be further developed as we move into lunch and beyond.

We do not have a formal dress code, though most people dress business casual. We have the beautiful lakeside patio reserved for us, to enjoy networking and lunch. As the weather looks like it will cooperate, we will likely have groups outside for various portions of the speed-networking activity!
