Event Review: Brisbane Executive PA & Event Organisers Summit, 27 March 2024
Emporium Hotels South Bank hosted an action packed, one-day event that had Delegates leaving feeling energised, connected and inspired. The program featured event expert, Simon Thewlis, open the event with his keynote on the Simple Techniques for Effective Events. With a fully engaged audience, the Q&A was cut short at risk of the event running late before getting into full swing. Delegate Jacquie Strudwick, who supports the President of SOTO Australasia, won 10 hours of consultation with Simon. This very rare opportunity will assist Jacquie and her team navigate their future conferences and event needs.
As the day moved into matched meetings and guest speakers, all attendees were able to engage fully without the distraction of loud music, bright lights and the overload of marketing material. The face-to-face meetings meant that all suppliers were familiar with every delegate in attendance, making meals breaks a friendly and engaged experience.
Have you have attended a guest speaker session which features a Star Wars storm trooper helmet? Well, you will when you hear Chad Davis, Musicland, speak about creativity and carefully considering your tools when achieving your workplace goals.
Everyone avoided the mid-afternoon slump with help of Summit Partner, Be Challenged. The team arrived armed with violins and a positive attitude, by the end of the ‘Crescendo‘ session everyone was impressively playing Pechelbel’s Canon in D. The feedback for the activity was so positive, it has left the Summit Organisers a busy start of this week sharing photos and videos.
The Summit concluded with sparkling wine, even more conversation and more prizes than ever announced at a Summit. Prizes included, but not limited to Australian and International Hotel stays, Theme Park Access, Art Exhibition Tickets, Hampers…(read more in the next issue of Executive PA Magazine).
