Rendez-vous 2025 Opening Soirée
Aug 13 2025
The Rendez-vous 2025 Opening Soirée is sponsored by IATSE Local 680
Join us as we officially open up the 35th edition of Rendez-vous!
Please join us in the Sculpture Court located in the Dalhousie Arts Centre on August 14th, where we will officially kick off the conference.
The Soirée will feature a welcome by Charlotte Bernard, a Cultural Advisor and Mi’kmaq Matriarch, followed by opening remarks and – new this year – our Exhibitor Showcase. This exciting addition reimagines the traditional Product Breakfast Showcase, offering exhibitors the chance to introduce their company or spotlight a new product to attendees.
It is also a fantastic opportunity to catch up with colleagues, meet new people and reconnect with exhibitors in a relaxing setting. Throughout the evenings’ activities there will be light refreshments provided and cash bar, including non-alcoholic beverages.
A special thank you to our Opening Soirée Sponsor – IATSE Local 680!
