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.

Weekly wrap – 24th June – welcome to winter

June 24, 2022

Posted by Trevor Connell

Back when the event industry was evolving in Australia a bunch of people got together to form the Australian chapter of the International Special Events Society (now known as the International Live Events Association). The Australian chapters (there were spin offs in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane) lasted around two decades until for various reasons they were dissolved. This publication was born out of the newsletter I produced for the society in the 90s.

The leaders of that group have had a regular end of year get together, but as most are actively engaged in events, that is a busy period, so this year they have opted for a Christmas in July in Sydney on 20th July and dear reader you are invited.

Check out the invitation here.

No matter what your experience you will be most welcome to join us for a catch up, dinner and some frivolity.

So come and join me, Lena, Meri, John, Jeremy, Pamela, Darryl, Greg, Leanne, Natalie, Shane, Felicity, Simon, Lorri, Andrew and many more.

Speaking of networking – the next opportunity for a big catch up is the MEA conference next week in Melbourne and I offer…

7 reasons to attend the MEA conference

Prices are going up on everything – including in the event industry and Gary Fitz-Roy asks

If the staffing situation changes, will the price as well?

And finally for this week –

Navarra family pay tribute to the matriarch

I’ll be in Canberra next week before heading to Melbourne for the MEA conference so I’ll probably skip a week of updates – but I’ll have something to say via social media.

I’m just dreading Melbourne airport on the return leg.
