Bio

Hala is an event industry thought leader and an international award-winning event producer with over 20 years of experience, yet is still young at heart. Hala began her career at SickKids Foundation where she developed her passion for events. Later, as Chief Development Officer for Children’s Aid Foundation she honed her fundraising skills and became a Certified Fundraising Executive. Though she loved her 13 years in the not-for-profit sector, she was always drawn back to event planning. She started hala inc. in 2004 and launched Hala Luxury Weddings & Milestone Celebrations in 2015. She is a sought-after speaker at industry conferences and has established educational programs at both Toronto Metropolitan University and Humber College where she has also taught the curriculum. 

Her secret to success? Surrounding herself with talented, energetic event producers and collaborating with some of the most creative people in the business, in Canada and around the world. In her spare time she likes to swim, bike and run, completing an Ironman in 2004 and loves to ride her motorcycle. She also volunteers her time as a contributing editor to Canadian Special Events Magazine.
