2025 Annual CIP Wine & Technology Festival - Thank You

A love letter to our valued friends and customers.

Dear CIP Office Technology valued friends and customers,

Thank you for attending the 2025 CIP Wine and Technology Festival. Once again this was a terrific success thanks to the over 150 thirsty and hungry IT professionals in attendance! We had an awesome time hosting this fun and informative event and we can't wait to do it all over again in 2026.

I know you will agree that the catered food from Bonterra Trattoria team was amazing and our wine sommelier, Reed White from Cellar Maker Imports, did an incredible job of pouring and teaching, but what we perhaps like most about these businesses is that they are local! We always support local, and we hope that you do as well.

We'd also like to give a big shout out to the Sharp Canada executives for their support and attendance specifically, Carmine, Al, Karen, Jason, and Milenco from Sharp – great job as always! In addition, thank you to the Leslie's - Lesley from EcoPrint PaperCut, and Leslie from Avaya for their incredible support.

Our Prize Winners

I know you're all wondering who our big prize winners are. Well, we drew from the fishbowl to find them, and the winners are...

  • Shiv Rathee from the Ballad Group - The lucky winner of two awesome lower bowl tickets each to the upcoming Flames vs Seatle Kaken game at the fabulous Saddledome. Go Flames Go!
  • Mairi Serpas from Women’s Centre of Calgary - The lucky winner of a $100 Amazon gift card, generously contributed by Dynabook Canada – A Sharp Company.

Lastly, please circle Thursday July 9, 2026 on your calendar for our annual CIP Customer Appreciation Stampede Party at CIP World Headquarters. It will be another night of music, food, and ice-cold frosty beverages for 400 of our closest friends and customers. Watch for your email invitation in May. You won't want to miss it. Yee Haw!

Until then, cheers!
