2008 AAPO Conference

In October 2008, AAPO proudly hosted its 3rd Annual Conference at Sydney Harbour Marriott in the Sydney's Circular Quay. The hotel was fabulous, the program amazing, and we celebrated Organising for Success!

Professional Organisers from around Australasia attended this event. The conference was the highlight of the year and a great opportunity for training and networking.

Warm Regards,
The 2008 Conference Committee
