experience and service provided’ at this
year’s event,” says van Dalen.
“And on the mainland, Coral Sea Resort will
host a medical conference for approximately
100 delegates in November.”
As for the Hamilton Island Conference
Centre, it’s already seeing a record number
of events being locked in for 2017 and the
