Event Network Launches

The Mid North Coast Event Network project officially launched on Thursday 11 May at the Maul and Wedge function centre, Timbertown Wauchope.

Your response to the project has been really encouraging and we look forward to the upcoming Forums throughout the region.

The launch was attended by John Allen of UTS who provided a very valuable tutorial regarding collaborative marketing and event development. We also learned more about Tourism NSW Regional Flagship Events Program. For further information please visit Tourism NSW and remember to contact Brian Stokes at North Coast Tourism to discuss your application before it is submitted.

Thanks to everyone who travelled to attend the launch, to John Allen, to the Maul & Wedge and also our stakeholders Tourism NSW, North Coast Tourism, the Department of State and Regional Development and Arts Mid North Coast.

Copies of all presentations will be available online very soon, so stay tuned. Remember, to discuss the project please contact Kerry Grace either via e-mail kgrace@evolvenetwork.com.au or phone 65648843. Many thanks
