Connect with Maria Paletta and bring your next business event to life in Winnipeg! As one of Tourism Winnipeg's Business Development Managers, Maria has extensive experience in attracting business events to Winnipeg through national and international associations and third-party meeting planners. She specializes in agribusiness, advanced manufacturing, tech, aerospace, financial services, and energy/environment with a focus on sustainability.

As a born and raised Winnipegger, there's a plethora of reasons Maria loves “The Peg.” She and her family had the opportunity to live away for nearly a decade, during which time she developed a fond appreciation for what mattered most in her life, with Winnipeg calling her back. Maria loves and appreciates Winnipeg's quirk and creative communities, its vibrant culinary scene and its world-class attractions that can be enjoyed during each distinct season.

In her spare time, Maria enjoys spending quality time travelling with her family and friends and managing her two children’s busy schedule as a "momager". She especially loves The Forks – the bustling downtown centre that is brimming culinary delights, shops, patios, and Indigenous history – along with Winnipeg's newest attraction, the Leaf at Assiniboine Park. Let Maria's expertise and personal touch help make your next business event memorable.

We look forward to connecting with you!
