Conference Dinner and X Awards are BYO
This year as part of the experiment to keep costs as low as possible for delegates attending the National Regional Rural and Sub Metro Broadcasters Conference in Ballarat March 2nd to 4th we have decided to make the Conference Dinner a BYO affair.
This will reduce the cost to all delegates attending the event.
We know we could have run a bar and made money out of it but it seemed to us it would be better for the delegates to BYO and actually save some money.
We have thought of everything we hope when it comes to making sure the BYO side of the dinner is covered, there will be eskies and ice for delegates that have travelled by plane, train or bus and could not bring an eskie with them. Of course if you can bring an eskie by all means do so as we want this event to go as well as possible and to be as enjoyable as possible.
For delegates that don’t have their own transport we will be happy to take you to a bottle shop to purchase your requirements as long as you are over 18 years of age. We will provide glasses on the tables.
This is all about making this years conference as affordable as possible for all of our delegates. Naturally we want your feedback on this one and we will be asking at the conference what your thoughts are on this experiment.
The Grand hall complex is a fantastic venue and we are sure that this year’s dinner and awards will build on the tradition we have worked so hard to establish over past conferences.
We look forward to seeing you all there and enjoying your company, fellowship and working with you to ensure that everyone has not only a great learning experience but also an outstanding and enjoyable experience.
With so many free events happening this year it is vital that we get a good understanding of what delegates will be attending and what they won’t be attending. It is simple math, there is no sense in over catering and spending more money than we need to if people are not going to attend events so please let us know as soon as you can if you will be missing some of the events.
There will be an email going out to all registered delegates in the next few days asking for catering details please take a few minutes to fill it in and return it,
The SCMA is committed to it’s membership and this conference and would love to see as many stations as possible represented at this years event so if your station has not yet registered for the “Can Do” Conference there is no time like right now to get involved and become a part of this fantastic annual event.
See you in Ballarat
