            Shaping Conferencing for Associations
            AuSAE IF - AuSAE Association Professional /Supplier Business Workshops
            13 – 15 February 2024

            What IF we put 15 Association professionals in a room with 15 business event suppliers

            A minimum of 10 and a maximum of 15 AuSAE members and business event suppliers, participate in this business events workshop.
            During the Workshop, Association professionals get the opportunity to meet people from a minimum of ten or a maximum of fifteen New Zealand business event suppliers.

            Why should an association professional in New Zealand attend AuSAE IF

            • Networking with the right suppliers and collegues; the minimum of wasted time; genuine 2.5 - day dialogue!
            • Discover new potential meeting suppliers in different regions
            • Build long-term relationships with business event suppliers which can genuinely cope with your events!
            • Highlight your concerns and challenges with some of the most influential opinion shapers amongst your peers!

            And what does it cost?
            It costs nothing; only two days of your time.
            But we know this is your most valuable resource.  We guarantee it will be a worthwhile investment!

            After every three sessions, a 20-minute break will be given. During the workshop, the participating clients get the opportunity to meet representatives from between ten to fifteen conferencing destinations and suppliers. 

            Sample agenda to follow
