Highlights from Dreamtime 2023: The Value of Experiences
The Dreamtime 2023 conference was planned and tailored for groups of all sizes. The event commenced at the renowned Adelaide Convention Centre and extended its influence to key incentive destinations across Australia. As a global leader in venue sourcing and event planning, we were thrilled to participate in this significant event, which offered a wealth of business opportunities and insights into the Australian industry. The Dreamtime conference, held from November 7 to 9, 2023, was a remarkable platform for international delegates to connect and conduct business with the Australian industry. The event was presented in partnership with Business Events Adelaide and was designed to increase awareness of Australia as an outstanding incentive destination.
The first day of the conference was filled with unique experiences. We visited the Adelaide Hills region, where we toured the Sequoia Lodge and and interacted with local suppliers. However, the day was not all business, we also had the opportunity to interact with Australia's unique wildlife at the Cleland Wildlife Park.
The Dreamtime Business Session on the second day was a highlight of the conference. Held at the Adelaide Convention Centre, it provided an excellent platform for networking and business discussions. It was a day dedicated to providing an opportunity to connect with industry peers and gain insights into the latest trends and practices. This event offered a unique platform for networking and learning.
On the final day, of our journey began with the Dreamtime Breakfast, graciously hosted by Business Events Adelaide at the Adelaide Oval. Attendees also had the unique opportunity to experience the exhilarating Roof Climb at the Adelaide Oval, adding a touch of adventure to our business-focused itinerary. This event provided a fitting conclusion to the conference, leaving us with valuable business connections and insights into Adelaide's industry.
