Organising for Success
Sydney, Australia

On Thursday 16 and Friday 17 October 2008, AAPO will proudly host its 3rd Annual Conference at Sydney Harbour Marriott in the Sydney's Circular Quay. The hotel is fabulous, the program will be amazing, and we are going to be Organising for Success!

Professional Organisers from around Australia and New Zealand will attend this event. The conference is the highlight of the year and your biggest opportunity for training and networking. It is an exciting time for the industry and you have the opportunity to impact both your business and the public's perception of the industry.

This is YOUR conference, designed with you and your needs in mind. It is a unique opportunity to gain practical knowledge to benefit your business and to network with like-minded people in the industry. Last year’s attendees can attest to how exciting and empowering it is to be immersed in two days of inspiration and education. Don’t miss out on being part of this stimulating experience this year!

Presenters: We are currently seeking proposals for presentations that will interest those in the Professional Organising industry. Share your knowledge! Become an expert and go-to person for Professional Organisers!

Sponsors: What a great opportunity for businesses to promote themselves and their products/services by sponsoring a conference for a very targeted market!
