Events

I’m an extrovert so I enjoy meeting new people. Events are a fantastic way for people to meet someone new, learn something useful, meet someone helpful and be inspired.

When I was running the Australian Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai, I oversaw and programmed almost 200 events a year, including keynote speakers, workshops, panel discussions, delegations to the World Expo, weekly networking drinks and events to mark significant Australian days including ANZAC Day. It was a busy time but I enjoyed it!

I only programmed events that were genuinely interesting, inspirational and useful, as well as being a great networking opportunity.

I successfully programmed and hosted or co-hosted:

• Keynote dinners with speakers such as Sir Richard Branson

• Panel discussions with leading business and social impact leaders

• Joint events with Austrade

• Joint events with other Chambers of Commerce

I have also chaired and hosted major events, including:

• The Great Australian Ball in Shanghai

• Eat Drink Blog, the national food blogging conference in Australia.

I have also been asked to MC events, including:

• The launch of Lot Fourteen in Adelaide

• The launch of the Chinese Business Network South Australia
