Event Management
9 February 2012
An early start to this Thursday with a breakfast meeting at "The Ballaarat" in Dana Street - but it was worth it! Not only did the group enjoy the venue and catching up, they had the opportunity to get some tips on event management from Sally Kennedy.
Sally, who spent six years in event management and marketing with a local public relations company, has worked with numerous companies and local businesses assisting them with ideas, logistics and the delivery of events. She currently works in Business Development at VicWest Community Telco.
Sally's great passion for event management was obvious. She passed on some fabulous ideas and tools to assist in event management as well as providing the group with a handout/summary of useful tips and resources.
These tips, together with information on venues and catering in Ballarat and the region, will be compiled for distribution to Connect Networking members.
