Welcome to the EDC programme,
We are so delighted you registered and can’t wait to welcome you in Montréal to Concordia University 16 August 2019. This page will be the microsite for this program and is being updated at regular intervals as the program progresses.
We will be inviting the participants for a pre-EDC online call as a first orientation and to speak with you about “what to prepareâ€.
Get to know you – Zoom Call Details
Topic: EDC Montreal Zoom call – “EDC Orientation & Get to Know each other call”
Time: Aug 8, 2019 11:00AM EDT  Montreal  Time / 5:00 PM Amsterdam CEST time
Below a snippet of the questions we typically ask participants to consider prior to participating when they get onsite. You have some time to think about this as you travel to Montréal and we ask you to please prepare your answers for the introduction session on the first day on 16 Aug:
- What you are working on these days? (Briefly describe your current job or projects)
- Why have you decided to join the EDC program? (Please be brief and informative)
- After obtained your EDC, what would be your ideal outcome one year from now? (In an ideal world, when I am a CED-Certified Event Designer I will have achieved ____)
- What Event Design Project would you like to work on for EDC? (please prepare a 2 minute pitch of the project you would like to design for EDC)
- Is there anything else we should know about your coming to EDC?
We would be delighted if you would create and bring your “Experience Journey†to EDC for this program. (we leave it upto you and your creative mind to present that in an original way to your fellow participants.
If you haven’t already gotten your hands on a copy of the Event Design Handbook we suggest you read the first 100 pages (for free) or order your copy which will come in handy in your future life as an Event Designer.
On 16 Aug 2019 we will meetup at 08:30 (AM) where we will have a continental breakfast ready for you and we will start the EDC program at 09:00 (AM) sharp.
For lunch breaks (12:30 – 13:30) we will go to different lunch spots on the campus to give you a flavour of Montréal.
EDC Classes run daily from 09:00 to 17:00 on Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 Aug 2019.
The evening time is at your leisure and if you like we can meet for an informal dinner (not part of the official program).
One small exception;  on Friday 16 Aug after class (which will end slightly earlier at 16:00) we are planning a little Montréal style surprise for everyone so plan for that program to run slightly later until about 20:00 hours.
