 Hi There

 

This week's newsletter is beaming its way to you straight from sunny Queensland. Yes, I’m reporting live from the ASFA Conference. Stay tuned for next week’s edition, where I’ll spill all the conference secrets and my takes on the hottest topics*.

 

Just a reminder that we have a 20% discount code for the Engage 2025: Member Engagement, Communications and Experience Conference on 18/19 November in Sydney. We find the IBRC conferences a really great way to share ideas and have interesting conversations, not just be preached at from on high. Please do consider registering.

 

Next week we also have our final CREW webinar for the year plus our PDS Managers roundtables are just around the corner with in-person events in both Melbourne and Sydney. Details below plus all the latest news and views.

 

Regards
Sarah
