Be Yourself. Be Happy.

Of the grand order of folio leviathans, the Sperm Whale and the Right Whale are by far the most noteworthy. They are the only whales regularly hunted by man. To the Nantucketer, they present the two extremes of all the known varieties of the whale. As the external difference between them is mainly observable in their heads; and as a head of each is this moment hanging from the Pequod's side.

Stay Positive. Always.

National Events Alliance – EMERGE Meet Up LIVE 26 May, 2021

April 21, 2021

Posted by Gary Fitz-Roy

NEA Emerge Meet Up is not about feeling dwelling on negativity, it’s about putting in place positive actions to rebuild and regrow along with taking on the challenges head on and putting solutions and plans in place. The Challenge of Change is long established and previously successful strategies, practices and ways of working have become marginalised and compromised, we need to emerge and meet the new era of exhibitions and events. We have selected a leading group of speakers from KPMG Restructuring Specialists, Business Coaches through to Gold Medal Olympians to present throughout the day. Topped off with networking and reconnection, it’s time to EMERGE and Meet Up in May.

The definition of Emerge is appropriate as our theme – to rise and become apparent or prominent – We were a leading industry creating jobs, business and connections locally and globally and as the country emerges so must we!

The event will be hosted at Sydney Showground, Sydney Olympic Park. As platinum sponsors they are proud to host the event helping lead the recovery having successfully delivered the biggest event in the world since the industry stopped for Covid. The calibre  of speakers and inclusions would not be possible with the very generous sponsorship of all the companies listed online.
