On June 18 & 19 AuSAE held the highly successful AuSAE Conference and Exhibition (ACE) with around 350 delegates, 45 speakers and 42 exhibitors attending the event at Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre. 

The conference taught us how to get a meeting with government, about knowing your legal risk with MOUs and contracts, how to mobilise volunteers, how to develop strategy to engage in commercial opportunities and much, much more. 

You may have seen the conference hashtag #ACEBne15 trending on twitter during the event. We also received lovely feedback from delegates: 

• "What an incredible experience."
  
• "Fantastic event - great content and networking opportunities"
  
• "An excellent event... wondering why we hadn't attended before now!"
  
• "Great conference - one of the most useful in terms of content that I've attended in a while."
  
• "Great event. Best opening speaker I have ever heard. Venue great, food outstanding. Good range of topics. Got a lot out of it." 
  
• "Absolutely fantastic. Well run and immensely useful."
