In 2019, the Markham African Caribbean Canadian Association celebrated their 32nd Scholarship Awards Gala where they celebrated the transition of the brightest Black Youth to post-secondary education. MACCA asked Debonair Corporate Events to produce an event that would bring the community together and allow their graduates to be recognized for their outstanding accomplishments.
Our team developed an experience for each of the stakeholders starting with the graduates. We designed a memorable experience that consisted of a private photoshoot, one on one interviews and featured each of them in a printed magazine. We also created a stunning decor that encompassed Jumbo Personalised Helium Balloon with brand matching lighting that filled the room and created an ambiance of elegance. Our live band serenaded the audience before, during, and after the main event. This event also encompasses multiple fundraising opportunities and an amazing keynote speaker. This event was then featured in a couple of local newspapers.

After 18 months of not having an opportunity to connect in person, our client asked us to create an experience where their mentors and mentees can come together for a day of fun, education, and networking.
We planned a full day of interactive activities that respected all the covid-19 guidelines while creating space for authentic connection. We researched and secured one of the leaders in their industry to bring a powerful keynote message in a private park under a 2500 sq ft pavilion coupled with a 40x60 foot tent. The ambiance featured a Caribbean island theme that was carried out through the music selection, catering, and decor. This event included new private experiences for our attendees at Between the Lines Winery, a trip to the historic Niagara Falls, and a boat ride on the Maid of the Mist. We also introduced the attendees to one of the great mentalists in the region who was able to mesmerize the audience with his ability to predict what they are thinking. The event concluded with live BBQing and prize giveaways.

Debonair Corporate Event was called to design an engaging multi-day virtual conference that would bring tax attorneys together to discuss the trends and challenges of the tax laws and provide networking opportunities. This was the first time this client was conducting a virtual symposium and was looking for a great partner.
We designed custom backgrounds for each general session that highlighted the client’s brand with motion graphics. This was coupled with several custom layouts. We provided a green room for each speaker and provided them with online training, technical rehearsal, and presentation guidance. Selecting the right platform for keeping the audience engaged was key. Our research led us to a platform that met all our client’s goals and the engagement analytics captured the enthusiasm of the audience.

The Building Diversity Awards recognize those contractors, unions, and individuals in Ontario that are leading the way by working together to increase the participation of Black, Indigenous, and racialized workers in the construction industry. Debonair Corporate Events was called to plan, design, and execute this inaugural event.
DCE supported our client with the design of the evaluation process for the awards utilizing global standards to recognize the progress for each recipient. This inaugural event required educational marketing collateral to bring awareness to the campaign that was supported with multiple training sessions before and during the nominations process. This event encompassed all the rich elements of an in-person event from elegant lighting and visuals to outstanding entertainment. Selecting the right platform and know-how to utilize all the bells and whistles led over 400 people to attend virtually with over 5,000 interactions between guests throughout the event, surpassing all our client’s expectations.
This awards ceremony consisted of an international keynote speaker, senior government officials, and many other VIPs.
