HURRY UP YOU LOT – Snooze and You Lose!

We’ve all been running around like chooks with our heads chopped off this week (broken record, I knooow).  With just five weeks (35 sleeps) to go until the big event commences that type of madness isn’t likely to abate any time soon.

Urgent Stuff!

Earlybird Rate to Close
Hurry now to take advantage of the Earlybird rate and save yourself a cool $200 bucks which could be spent on shoe shopping in Wellington (not during conference time of course)! 

Flights
You still have the opportunity to get flights for under $200 Air NZ or $140 Pacific Blue return from Auckland and Christchurch with Rotorua and Hamilton costing just under $250 Air NZ only.  In fact, you could have a combined accommodation and flight package for less than $600 smackers if you’re quick!

Be careful about buying flights during Maori language week on Grab a Seat though, you could end up in Eketahuna!

Accommodation
Our in-house Event Manager has gone to great lengths to get a range of very affordable rooms in central Wellington to cover everyone’s budget.  With room rates from just under $80.00, you can’t afford not to be there!   Check out our range of accommodation on the General Information tab of the conference website.

Competition Winners
To Sandra Bennett from Life Clinic in Wellington who was the winner of our New Member prize and receives a free conference place at this year’s conference.  Sandra will be joined by our winner of the ‘Mystery Speaker Competition’, Cathy Fitzsimons from Manage to Lead.

Mystery Speaker Revealed
After much speculation, Blogging, Facebooking and Twittering (good old Social Media, now there’s a couple of words that’ll have the Finance Departments trembling in their boots).  We have now revealed that our Mystery Keynote Speaker is……..noooooo not Tiger Woods (nice try though but we didn’t have a budget large enough for his partners to attend)………..

Vanessa Stoddart – Group General Manager People and Operations, Air New Zealand
Back by popular demand, Vanessa has agreed to re-present the inspiring presentation she gave at ‘Nine to 9’ earlier this year after ‘wowing’ our Auckland audience. 

Vanessa will share Air New Zealand’s culture transformation story and their journey beginning from when staff attitude received the highest compliments – and the highest complaints to being recently named ‘Airline of the Year’. 

Don’t be late, don’t hesitate……

Trust us, this conference is worth the wait!
