DSSS is again undertaking industry development for venues and suppliers interested in building their Business Events capabilities, and we are pleased to partner with Mayvin Global to deliver the latest iteration of the program.

The second of two in-person workshops specially designed for senior events and sales staff in venues and business owners already targeting corporate groups, to strengthen your skills in proposal writing, sites visits and much more!

Key takeaways that participants can expect from this highly interactive and hands-on session:

• Workshops format with interactive involvement throughout the day. This is interactive learning.
• Understanding of the role of infrastructure when we talk about business events. How to use what you have in your region to your advantage.
• Talk through the economic drivers in the regions and how these support your client and business event opportunity identification.
• Hands-on exercise to hone proposal writing skills in responding to RFPs. We’ll ask you to bring proposal templates that we’ll work through and improve. If you think ‘you are doing this well already’ – then please join the session. Feedback from buyers, improvement is needed!
• Panel discussion with a local Venue Finder, DNSW Regional Conferencing team and one other important play in attracting business events to the region – includes opportunity to ask questions.
• How AI is being used in business events with opportunities to use a dedicated business events AI tool. (may be connectivity reliant).
• A site inspection of the host venue facilities. This will include walking learning and discussion including good practice. We’ll talk about site inspections versus famils and how this might be delivered at this venue and how you can apply that to your business.

Morning tea and a light lunch will be provided.
