Trucking HR + Durgy Spade
Trucking HR
Annual Gala
Hi Devon,
Thank you for taking the time to connect. It was a genuine pleasure learning about what Trucking HR has built and what you're looking to create for this year's Gala.
It sounds like this event is a meaningful one: a fresh experience for your guests, a bigger-and-better night for your industry's top HR directors and C-suite leaders, and a celebration worthy of the people who shape Canada's trucking sector.
The connection through your father's memory of an event that left a lasting impression for 25 years tells me everything I need to know about the bar you're aiming for. I'd be honoured to help you clear it.
Below you'll find two tailored options, both designed around your program, your guests, and your vision for an evening that's elegant, entertaining, and unforgettable.
Canada's Most Magical MC
Durgy Spade brings something genuinely unique to the stage: the precision of a professional emcee, the charisma of a performer, and the wonder of a world-class magician, all woven seamlessly into one experience.
With over 15 years in the events industry and hundreds of high-profile events hosted, Durgy has refined the art of reading a room, commanding attention, and creating moments guests talk about for years. Whether it's 50 guests or 500, the energy never wavers.
He has performed across the world: London, New York, Dubai, Doha, Melbourne. Today you'll find him hosting some of Toronto's biggest galas and corporate events for companies like Amazon, TD Bank, Toyota, and Facebook.
- 250–300 C-suite and HR leaders. He excels at engaging sophisticated professional audiences
- Award-heavy programs, with experience structuring galas to keep energy high from cocktail hour through the final award
- First time changing the format, with the expertise to make this transition feel seamless and exciting for your guests
- Canada-wide potential. A relationship built on a successful first night opens doors to events throughout the year
"We hired Durgy to perform magic at our corporate holiday party and he was a HUGE hit! He was so easy to work with, and was able to accommodate for our smaller space. His tricks were awesome, and he for sure knows how to work a room! Would definitely recommend him!"
