While the official welcome function and international protein degustation isn’t due to start until 6pm on Tuesday October 31, that afternoon there are now three wholesome additional events to consider:
Option 1 – Golf Tournament, offering those lucky few the chance to take part in a great event, with the teams teeing off with a shotgun start at 1.30pm. A maximum of 72 golfers can be part of this event so we anticipate a full course. If you’re a keen golfer and want to back your chances at MPEC glory then book in early. A light lunch will be on offer at the Royal Pines Club Rooms from 12.30pm where you can also hire clubs. We definitely recommend being there at 12.30 to be fully prepared for golf an hour later.
Option 2 – A much-coveted Tour of the Port of Brisbane, Queensland’s premier port and logistics hub. The tour begins at the Port office at 1.30pm, with a short refreshment stop and view of the port and surrounding Moreton Bay Islands. From here you will tour the various parts of the port and see firsthand the life blood of this key logistics hub. You will also get the opportunity to see how some of the world’s largest cargo ships load and unload cargo at one of the port’s state-of-the-art stevedoring facilities, the Patrick Brisbane AutoStrad Terminal, where you will be treated to an up close view of the container handling operations.
Delegates selecting this option can either:
- Join the bus from Royal Pines Resort, departing the hotel foyer at 1pm and returning by 5.30pm; or
- Drive (or taxi) to the port, participate in the tour, and either drive or join the tour bus back to Royal Pines
Option 3 – Dealing with Detractors workshop, For those looking for some practical take-home lessons from MPEC, then this fantastic workshop is for you. We have put together a three-hour program on strategies to effectively deal with detractors and prepare for, and manage, those wishing to damage your business and the wider industry. This action-packed, informative, and practical seminar will give you tools you can take away and incorporate into your business. More details to be released on this soon but, suffice to say, we’re pretty excited with what is shaping up.
Option 4 – Meat Business Women: Decoding Confidence: ways to level up your confidence game. Join the first of our series of state based, in person Masterclasses and learn to level up your confidence game! We are once again teaming up with the fabulous global DEI and women’s leadership expert Michelle Redfern.
Michelle is an award-winning advisor and experienced facilitator. She’s inspirational, and energetic and inspires people to take action to create workplaces that work for every human.
