Guest Speakers Required: Events Industry

[a_lil_spaz]

I am seeking guest speakers to attend a seminar and networking series for 100 event management students of a prominent tertiary institute in Brisbane. So if you're currently involved in or have experience in:

- event planning
- event marketing
- community or fundraising
- sport
- contract law
- permits and licencing
- catering, technology or other

Michael Doneman runs Edgeware, which trains people in starting up businesses. If he doesn't have specific knowledge of those issues he'd know someone who does. (Eddie knows him as well.) michael@edgeware.com.au

As for grants and fundraising - ah I have the PERFECT person for you!! My manager Anna Grega is the QUEEN of fundraising and grants. She's worked in all sorts of arts organizations worldwide, including the Sydney Opera House, and she now manages Transit Lounge Brisbane in the Valley. She did some presentations of applying for grants and stuff which were really useful. If you ask her something she'll make sure you leave with at least 3 useful leads. Email her at manager@transitlounge.org.au (though she is going through some family drama at the moment, she'll be more than happy to help. Just tell her I sent you). She'll also be able to assist with finding speakers for the other parts.
