Keynote & PANEL
presentations
Since 2013, we've delivered over 35 keynote and panel presentations (both live and virtual) at tourism industry conferences and forums across Australia.
It is incredibly important to us that our presentations are thought provoking and grounded in real life learnings from case studies, and are also balanced with practical outcomes so participants are inspired to make change, and feel empowered to implement their learnings.
The inclusion of Paige and Rebecca in our program helped to ensure our conference was seen as a valuable experience and very worthwhile attending.
We engaged Paige and Rebecca as keynote speakers for our annual Visitor Information Centre conference. Their three presentations were filled with relevant information, advice and practical exercises that the Visitor staff could immediately take back to their centres to implement. Feedback from delegates were that they found the sessions inspiring and motivating. Managers relayed to me that they were looking forward to taking the learnings from the sessions and conducting their own training in light of the information rich content, which was the objective of the conference. The inclusion of Paige and Rebecca in our program helped to ensure our conference was seen as a valuable experience and very worthwhile attending.
KEynote & Panel Presentation topics
Drawing on the our collective knowledge, we work proactively with conference organisers to plan an engaging presentation based on the program theme and desired outcome for the delegates.
We create brand new topics for each of our presentations; reflecting the current challenges or opportunities for the visitor economy, and to inspire new thinking to help address the challenging, complex and uncertain times for the sector.

Our delegates have given feedback that Paige's presentation was one of the best in the day!
We were absolutely delighted to have Paige as our speaker at the 2016 Cradle Coast Regional Tourism Forum. It’s never an easy feat being the last presenter of the day, but Paige was exceptionally fun, engaging, quirky, to the point, and took a room full of delegates (100+) on a journey of how to design tourism experiences that breed raving brand advocates in under 45 minutes. The local contextualisation and her engagement with our delegates was both insightful and appreciated as it gave them an understanding of “less is more” and “simple can be best”.
