SUMMARY:Visitor Economy Symposium 2025
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to announce the DSSS Visitor Economy Symposium is returning in 2025! \nBeing held on Wednesday 14th May at The Pavilion Kiama\, the theme for the day will be ‘People\, Productivity & Profit’. \nAt the heart of every successful visitor economy business are the people who drive it forward. This year’s Symposium will provide insights and strategies to help you build a strong\, motivated team\, enhance productivity\, and maximise profitability. Through engaging discussions and expert-led sessions\, we’ll explore practical ways to optimise operations\, improve efficiency\, and create a thriving\, sustainable business. \nWe’re also thrilled to be partnering with Business Illawarra to deliver one of the afternoon’s standout sessions: a deep dive into the power of media with Kathy Sharpe\, Editor\, Illawarra Mercury\, and Coralie McCarthy\, Director\, Business Illawarra. This dynamic session will unpack: \n✨ What makes a great story (from the editor’s desk)\n✨ How to pitch your business to media with confidence\n✨ Why local stories matter\, and how to make yours heard \nIn addition to gaining actionable strategies\, you’ll have the opportunity to connect with like-minded industry colleagues and business owners\, sharing experiences\, sparking ideas\, and strengthening your network. \nBut don’t just take our word for it\, here are a few testimonials from operators who joined us at last year’s event: \n“The operator pitch was a great addition\, reminded me to refine how I talk about my own role.” \n“The event was organised and in detail – it kept to the plan. The workbook was great.” \n“Jan Hutton’s presentation on ADTW was very helpful\, complimented by Jenny Gerada’s practical demonstration of how DNSW use the ADTW listings in their marketing of regions and experiences. The deep dive session (1) with the operator panel also provided helpful and practical insights. Most inspirational was the accessibility & inclusivity.” \n“High calibre of speakers who were equally motivating. Networking with the right people. Meeting board members\, the extended team is always how it should be done. This was one of the best events I have attended\, which was beneficial for my business. Well done team DSSS.” \nCheck out the program here! \nWe can’t wait to see you all on Wednesday 14 May at The Pavilion Kiama.
