David Soul, Executive Director, Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame
David walks us through the success story that is the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame, which is now a modern sport museum 50 plus years in the making. Yet a few short years ago, it was on life support, about to lose the premises it had occupied since its beginning. This is the story of five years of inspired work to fund, build and transition from a standard Sports Hall with memorabilia to Modern Museum in time for our 50th Anniversary.

Workshop D – Special Event Marketing in the Digital and Social Era
Nicholas Cartmell, Chief Executive, BC Sports Hall of Fame (formerly of TELUS Corporation)
Special event marketing is a staple for sports organizations, from clubs and Halls of Fame to PSOs and MSOs. The question is how to make the most of those special events in the digital and social era. Banking on 14 years of executive leadership at a leading telecom, Nicholas addresses the new tactics, technologies and mindsets required to connect with core supporters and engage with new audiences.
