Jim is the president and co-owner of ePly Services. While
studying business, event registration was still largely a
burdensome manual process and being one to always look for
the most efficient way to do things, Jim envisioned an online
process. What began as a business plan that he submitted for
a course on entrepreneurship has gradually evolved into today’s
system that simplifies the work of event planners throughout
North America.

When Jim isn’t thinking about ePly, he takes
on the challenge of renovating his house inside and out, learning
things from his baby daughter and running up the occasional mountain.

Katie joined ePly in 2008 as an Event Registration Software
Specialist after having worked for many years as a meetings
and conference planner. While traveling the globe as an event
planner, she discovered her passion for registration and set
out to join a company who offered an efficient and reliable
registration system.

In addition to helping customers put
on successful events, Katie spends her time tuned into the
Food Network, learning to salsa dance, scouring Vancouver�s
amazing farmer�s markets, and reading (often two or three
books at once). Katie is also a member of the Vancouver chapter
for Room to Read, an innovative international education NGO
that is impacting the lives of millions of children in the
developing world by providing quality educational opportunities
by establishing libraries, creating local language children’s
literature, constructing schools, and providing education to girls.

Rob Smith is our newest member at ePly and brings experience
in sales, marketing and business development. Having a
business background and being part of the online registration
and search marketing industry prior to joining the team at
ePly, Rob brings a wealth of knowledge as well as a passion
for social media to our marketing department.

While Rob has
always been interested in anything �online�, he spends his
spare time enjoying the outdoors and getting on a bike (mountain
or road) as much as possible. Rob is also an active supporter
and fundraiser for cancer research, using his bike as his tool
for promotion in such events as the Ride to Conquer Cancer
Other interests include hiking with his dog Hunter, an Alaskan
Malamute/Shepard X, and like any good Vancouverite – enjoying a
coffee and/or great food and drink with family and friends.
