What a relief that we brought your team on board! I had heard about your work ethic, and can now vouch firsthand. The International Conference’s seven concurrent components ran flawlessly. The University earned many accolades, and it is with fond gratitude that I share the success with you!
Dr. Joanne St. Lewis, Director, Human Rights Centre, University of Ottawa Convenor - ASTA International Multidisciplinary Conference
SEMgroup was a pleasure to work with. Denise brought a strong vision and much needed clarity to the Healthy Children, Healthy Communities National Roundtable. Her efforts on our behalf went above and beyond our expectations, and we were extremely pleased with the ultimate result. SEMgroup are more than event planners; they really helped to lead us in creating a remarkable vision for the event!” We look forward to working with her again in the future.

Honourable David Kilgour, former Deputy Speaker of Parliament
We’ve been hosting this event for a number of years, and having Denise and her team on board has made a notable difference in the delivery and success of the event. Denise is intuitive, hardworking and has an earnest and heartfelt interest in seeing the client succeed.
June Girvan, Every Child is Sacred
The girls really, really enjoyed the roundtable. They thought it was amazing, and I wanted to commend you again on putting together an event where our girls were so involved and engaged and valued for their opinions. It was their first experience at a conference with adult professionals, and the fact the girls were valued just as highly meant so much to them (and to me!)
Joanne Cave, Founder, Ophelia’s Voice Foundation
Warm Congratulations on the best and most well organized annual event yet! Your exceptional talents apply on a much broader front than events management alone. Very best wishes and thank you so much for a wonderful job done—we look forward to working with you again in the future.
David Newing, Professor, Algonquin College; Founder, Canadian Youth Business Foundation
Denise is the ultimate professional, she managed to produce an excellent event that rivals the American Gospel Music Conference. Not only do I look forward to returning to Canada next year, but will be pleased to work with Denise and her team again.
