Happy to be back in Emerald, Qld over the last few days. Haven’t been there for a few years and the town is looking great – as is the coffee. This trip I was lucky enough to work with the cultural champions from around the region brushing up on event and project management and marketing. Key messages included: a project management approach to event/project management will help to take the cry out of crisis management; and an understanding of the key principles of marketing will help ensure that a project or event will engage with its intended audience and that promotion will cut through the noise. Enjoyed being back in the Central Highlands. Best wishes for continued event and project success.
