About us

Rooted in the North.
Ready for anything.

Bottomline has been a trusted partner in event planning and management for over 20 years, specializing in delivering seamless, impactful events across the Northwest Territories and beyond.

Operating from Yellowknife, we've successfully managed notable science-focused and Indigenous participation events — including the GeoScience Forum (2014–2021), the Climate Change Advisory Gathering (CCAG), and the Project Finance for Permanence (PFP) initiative in partnership with the Indigenous Leadership Initiative.

With a consistent ability to bring together diverse stakeholders, we've delivered events including the Weaving Our Wisdom Gathering (400 participants), the NWT Educators' Conference, Cultural Safety and Anti-Racism Workshops, and community-focused initiatives across the territory.
