Keno AHG Expo returns in March 2017 Given the success of this year’s event, the Keno AHG Expo is set to return to the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre from 27 – 30 March 2017. To headline the week’s events, delegates from the national club industry will be treated to an outstanding line up of guest speakers and panelists at the 2017 National Governance and Management Congress on Tuesday 28 March. The Congress will feature Keynote speaker, Ms Holly Ransom, CEO of Emergent, a company specialising in the development of high performing intergenerational workforces, leadership and social outcomes. At just 26 years of age, Holly’s credentials are second to none. In 2014, Holly was appointed by the Prime Minister to chair the G20 Youth Summit, she’s been Chief of Staff to NAB Wealth Chief Executive and Rio Tinto CEO as well as becoming the youngest ever female director of an AFL club with her appointment to the board of the Port Adelaide Football Club. Her presentation will no doubt inspire you and be one of the stand outs of the week. The Keno AHG Expo will officially open its doors at 10am, Wednesday 29 March, showcasing over 200 exhibitors, all set to offer even more inspiration, ideas and innovation than ever before. The free AHG Cocktail Party will once again be staged within the Expo floor from 4pm – 6pm, with food and drinks flowing. Throughout both days of the Expo, the popular Soap Box Lectures will be back, guaranteeing some excellent educational sessions designed to cover all aspects of your business. The second and final day of the Expo will be on Thursday 30 March, and we’ll be kick-starting with the Club Plus Super AHG Breakfast. If you’re looking for even more inspiration, we’ll be running a number of Bus Tours on Monday 27 March, where you’ll visit some of Brisbane’s newest, inspiring and award winning clubs, pubs and bars.
