Are you a subject matter expert or talented champion in your field who can share insights, stories and knowledge at corporate events? Ballina Shire Council would like to hear from you to help strengthen the region's position as a destination for hosting business events.
Council recently launched the Ballina Business Events website, a resource established to facilitate planning and connect business event planners with local suppliers. The Ballina Business Events website will feature local experts who can be approached to present at a conference.
"Having experts in the region makes the destination even more appealing to event planners. Securing speakers and facilitators is a major expense in delivering business events in regional areas due to the travel and accommodation costs in bringing presenters to the area," said Alicia Wallace, Team Leader Visitor Services.
"We can set Ballina apart from other destinations. Not only is it easy to get here, we have a diverse offering of venues, accommodation, exceptional produce and unique experiences but we also have amazing local talent and experts who can add an authentic experience to business events hosted here," added Ms Wallace.
Wendy Bithell of Vision Walks Eco Tours is one such expert who adds another dimension to business events. Wendy can engage in a range of environmental speaking opportunities either in the field, virtually or at a plenary session.
