Leigh-Anne Higgs, Conference Manager
Leigh-Anne Higgs brings a wealth of industry experience to her role as Conference Manager. She began her career as a Program Manager for a Vancouver destination management company in 1994. Anxious to expand her planning and management knowledge, Leigh-Anne moved in 1995 over to the conference side of the industry, where she remained until 2001. Leigh-Anne worked tirelessly to orchestrate full-scale conferences and meetings in Canada and abroad, including spectacular theme events, impressive entertainment productions and more. In 2001, Leigh-Anne took a Director of Program Planning with another local destination management company. However, she quickly realized that her true passion was in conference management and returned to Advance Group in 2003.

Over the last nine years, Leigh-Anne's combined varying industry experience further developed her organizational skills, widened her creativity and strengthened her abilities to effectively manage every detail of a corporate, medical or association conference.
