June was great, let’s make July even better at the 2017 VTIC Mixer Series!

Hi industry friends, we had a great attendance at our June Mixer and now we can’t wait to see you in July as we kick-off a new financial year!

As always the VTIC Mixer will have no lengthy power-points, no pitches, just a chance to catch up with industry peers, make new connections, share ideas and hopefully, expand your business while enjoying some laughs and a couple of drinks.

Most nights we’ll have a special guest come along for a very quick chat as well as some fun ice-breakers.

So get your colleagues together, register and join us. Our good friends at Radisson on Flagstaff Gardens are putting on $6 beers and house sparkling, red and white and a few nibbles for the duration of our event which is amazing value. So hit the bar and get ready to build your network.

We can’t wait to see you there.

We are excited to announce the venue and dates of the 2017 Victorian Tourism Conference. Returning to Melbourne after a successful edition in Bendigo the event will take place in the main grandstand of the famous Flemington Racecourse on Mon 24 and Tue 25 July 2017. Our theme ‘Lights, Camera, Action!’ will delve into the following key streams;

1. LIGHTS – the learning stream. Where new ideas, technologies, theories and research pieces are found. This can fall under supply or the demand side of industry. The takeaways are intended to provide delegates with new, high level information to get thinking differently, OR epiphanies that may lead to action in the very short term to improve their businesses.
2. CAMERA – our marketing stream. There will be traditional marketing updates including digital and social as well as updates from Tourism Australia and Visit Victoria. The focus will be on what you can do in your business to increase your revenue.
3. ACTION! – this stream will include workshops on topics such as change management, the Sharing Economy, accessibility etc. As the title suggests, delegates will be able to take some of the lessons learned and implement into businesses big or small…immediately
