How to get there:
If travelling in by train (as I am doing) get off at Southern Cross Station and cross at the traffic lights at the corner. Keep on the left hand side as you walk up Collins Street – it’s about 10 mins walk up the road. Number 440. There will be signage to let you know which floor. Clifton’s Conference Centre.
If you’re travelling from the airport to the city, depending on the time of day and traffic, it can take between 40 mins to just over an hour. Citylink and the Bolte Bridge makes the trip much faster these days. There is also the Skybus from the Airport that can get you into the city and you can ask if you can get dropped off in or near Collins Street.
If you’re staying at Oaks on Market Street you’ll find that Cliftons is literally just a few minutes walk up Market and across the road onto Collins Street.
Don’t forget to bring:
Your business cards. Networking is an important part of any event and you don’t want to get caught short. Make sure you have at least 50 cards with you – you’ll meet other people outside of the conference so it might be better to bring 60 or 70 instead.
Your camera – if you’re a shutterbug like me you’ll want to take some photos, but for those who don’t or won’t, I’ll be taking photos of the whole event so it will be recorded for you to share with others. I’ll be available to do special shots for you too, with your favourite speaker or with some colleagues. There will be a (printed) Photobook produced to record the event and will be available for sale – orders will be taken at the event.
Questions asked by some:
Is this event being videoed or taped? Yes, and no. No it’s not being recorded for sale, we wanted people to attend in person and frankly I didn’t have the time to organise that this time around. However, you will see one of our delegates using a video camera – this is in support of one of the MCs who is her client and she’s offered to do same for the other presenters. The recording will not be made available for sale and each session will only be offered to those presenters who have consented/asked for it.
Dinner on Friday night – needed to be booked as I have to give them the numbers today and pay in advance. If you intended to come but haven’t let me know, I need to know TODAY please.
See you all soon!
