The only sector conference brought to you by local government for local government and its supporters, the event brings together industry experts offering inspiring and innovative content celebrating the PEOPLE behind the PLACES.
We kick things off with a behind the scenes tour of Marvel Stadium and Welcome Event on Monday 20 May. You will then be able to immerse yourself in two days of keynotes, panel sessions and presentations across 3 diverse streams: Places + Spaces; Parks + Projects; and People + Planning.
Don’t forget the social event of the year as we celebrate the best of Victoria and Tasmania’s parks and leisure industry at our Awards of Excellence Gala Dinner on Tuesday 21 May.
MEET YOUR KEYNOTE SPEAKER
Alicia McKay is a leading authority on strategy, change, and leadership, empowering government, business and community leaders to make better decisions, challenge unhelpful norms, and turn good intentions into meaningful action.

Her next book – You Don’t Need An MBA: Leadership Lessons that Cut through the Crap – busts common myths for leaders in all sectors about what it takes to manage through uncertainty and challenge.
