Representatives from the Monaco Group store and shop network converged upon the Hilton Lac-Leamy from January 31st to February 3rd for their annual convention.  

Over 500 enthusiastic participants comprised of store and shop managers and Monaco Group suppliers attended this year’s “The Future is Now” vendor expo and conference. Organizers scheduled a series of technical workshops and conferences addressing important industry issues designed to cater to the interests of everyone in attendance, while also providing  plenty of networking opportunities throughout the three-day event.

The Friday session was reserved for workshops covering a wide range of issues including new technologies, recruitment, marketing tools and the best strategies to increase their presence in the industry.

In addition to the popular workshops, the vendor expo featured Monaco Group partners, who generously disseminated valuable information and advice to interested conference participants.

The main presentations were simulcast in both official languages, a very commendable initiative implemented to include participants from the Monaco Group’s Ontario division.

Saturday morning presentations served to demystify the various digital solutions available to help manage shops. Saturday afternoon conferences featured Jean-François Champagne from AIA Canada and former wheelchair racer and Canadian Senator, Chantal Petitclerc.
