At Blackbird Strategies, we understand that the connections made at parliamentary receptions can be some of the strongest and most productive relationships for our clients. Receptions are not only a great way to make new connections; they also offer valuable opportunities to increase our clients’ visibility on the Hill, ensuring decision-makers are aware of the valuable work they do every day.
For three consecutive years, Blackbird has helped highlight the innovative work of a nonprofit foundation supporting scientific research, infrastructure development, and community-building initiatives in Canada’s Arctic by organizing and hosting parliamentary receptions and roundtable conversations on and around Parliament Hill.
Blackbird is there to assist with every stage of the reception planning process—from selecting the venue and coordinating catering, to sending invitations, tracking RSVPs, and ensuring a smooth run-of-show on the event day. The receptions we have organized for the Foundation have been well-attended by a variety of cabinet ministers, members of Parliament, senators, and key senior staff—they have become an annual staple for many people invested in Arctic and Northern priorities. At each event, our client has the opportunity to connect with politicians, government officials, and stakeholders to discuss current issues in the Arctic, and learn more about the Foundation’s ongoing work in the region.
Our creativity and political insight have allowed us to shape each year’s reception around our client’s unique goals and needs, ensuring they leave a lasting impression on guests. Blackbird looks forward to continuing to host the Foundation’s next annual reception and is ready to help you ensure your next big event makes a splash on Parliament Hill.
