Lisa Kanavaros | Conferences and Accommodation at UBC

My name is Lisa Kanavaros, and I am a sales manager for Conferences and Accommodation at UBC in Vancouver. Our operation works with approximately 150 conferences and groups each year that enjoy our guest rooms and unique meeting spaces. In my role, I specifically focus on the academic and association-based markets. I first connected with CSAE through my director by attending the CSAE Tête-à-Tête showcase back in 2012. This led to me meeting and connecting with many of its members across Canada, whose guidance and expertise I have greatly appreciated. As a new member myself, I am excited to learn even more about the association and engage with its members. Connect with me on LinkedIn.
