Kamloops got to enjoy a little piece of Paris on Saturday November 1. Pastels colours, chandeliers and classical music filled the Coast Hotel Kamloops Conference Centre. ROI Media Works team had a blast attending the 2014 Kamloops Chamber of Commerce and TD Business Excellence Awards. It was a sold out crowd of 440 people!
The conversations were light and full of laughter at table #29. Personally we think we had the best table selfie of the night #kambizawards. By the way, be sure to search that hashtag as there are some memorable moments that were captured.
Chef Romeo Oloresisimo put together a delicious menu for the evening. This year marked the 29th consecutive year that his event has been held in Kamloops. Not only that, this year there was a record number of nominations that were received from the community: a total of 468 nominations and 179 unique businesses nominated. We couldn’t be more proud to be a corporate partner and a sponsor for the ticket printing.
