Hi There

Welcome to November!

Well the Christmas decorations are now in the shops so the countdown is on - get everything finished by Christmas! Not sure why we do this to ourselves, but trying to get 'everything' done by Christmas is a pretty standard way to end the year. Mind you, at least that means you can go on break with a completed reduced to-do list.

My next four weeks consist of lunch, conference, conference, travel, lunch, events, more lunches, more events. It's going to be a blast but I know I'll be ready for my own bed and cereal for dinner by the end of it. How about you? Going hard to the end, or downing tools since it's now after Melbourne Cup?!

And speaking of conferences, we've got a sneaky 20% discount code for Engage 2025: Member Engagement, Communications and Experience Conference on 18/19 November in Sydney. And yes, we will be talking disclosure, at least tangentially. So, if you want to do some pre-2026 thinking about serving your members even better, come along. IBRC conferences are always entertaining and informative, plus some good networking too.

And then our final PDS Managers roundtables are just around the corner and this year, we’re going all out with in-person gatherings in both Sydney and Melbourne. Details below plus all the latest news, views and events. 

Regards
Sarah
