QLD Division Conference & Dinner

The half-day conference was designed for senior practitioners to stay up to date with developments, as well as sharing industry best practice, followed by networking opportunities at the Dinner with pre-drinks and a three course meal.

Conference sessions

Sessions for this year’s Qld Division Conference are listed below. Our program was highly topical and covered all the big issues facing our profession in 2021 and beyond:

What was once a $6 billion turnover business experienced a 95% drop in domestic revenue almost overnight and an immediate shutdown of all international operations. The administrators will tell the story of how Virgin was restructured, sold and successfully exited from administration in the midst of one of the most challenging operating environments ever.

COVID-safe and booking with confidence

We know that the world has changed and there is always going to be uncertainty around events in the age of a pandemic, so here is our approach to making this work:

  • The event will be fully COVID-safe and compliant above and beyond any basic government health requirements to do what we reasonably can to protect your health and safety and that of all attendees. That will include appropriate social distancing and other measures.
  • COVID cancellation: if the event is cancelled or has to be moved due to COVID issues, we will offer you a full refund.
  • If you’re unwell we will offer a cancel-on-the-day refund. It’s in everyone’s interest to ensure anyone who feels unwell stays away from events, so we will offer you a full refund if you are showing any COVID-like symptoms with no questions asked.
