MEMBER EVENT

31 MARCH AND 26 APRIL 2022

The Executive PA Summits are back !

With restrictions lifting everywhere , including mask mandates , the Summits are all systems go . Brisbane and Melbourne are coming up soon …
“ News of lifting of mask mandates was exactly what we were waiting for ,” says Russell Peacock of Executive PA Media , which owns the Executive PA Summits . “ Whilst our Summits are smaller , intimate events , they are still single days of networking and professional development – and that ’ s not practical or much fun when everyone has to be masked . We had to put back dates because of the mandates and I ’ m delighted that we got the new timings right .
“ Naturally , some people are still cautious and that ’ s completely understandable . If you feel vulnerable and still want to wear a mask at our summits , please do wear one . The most important thing is that it ’ s finally time for us all to come back together .”
You ’ re invited to the Brisbane Summit on 31st March at The Tivoli : An icon of the Brisbane music scene and widely regarded as one of Australia ’ s most beautiful performance spaces , The Tivoli is a unique venue for your next networking event , award ceremony , dinner or celebration . Along with all the modern conveniences you would expect at a premium venue , recent optional upgrades promise true rock star treatment – attendees and keynote speakers will feel like rock royalty !
How about the backstage pass – a 30-minute tour with one of the venue owners to learn the history of the building that started life as a bakery and went on to host Bob Dylan ? Stand on the same stage as Taylor Swift and get a selfie in the same green room as Gene Simmons . We just ask that you don ’ t smash any guitars !
Alternatively , impress your keynote by having a rock ‘ n ’ roll rider ( music lingo for food and beverages requested by a performer ) delivered to the speaker prep room . A selection of local craft beer , Gerler Wine and house-made snacks will be beautifully presented , just as the stars would want it .
You are invited to the Melbourne Summit on 26th April at Victoria Pavilion : The most flexible function and exhibition space in Melbourne ( boasting 2,550sqm of architecturally designed space , along with stateof-the-art lighting and audio-visual capabilities ), Victoria Pavilion can host up to 1,200 guests for a sit-down gala dinner or 1,920 for cocktail or theatrestyle event .
The purpose-built space features a pillarless 1,950sqm room and a stunning 600sqm glass-walled atrium – perfect for pre-dinner drinks or smaller functions . From banquets , gala dinners , business breakfasts , cocktail functions , weddings and award ceremonies to conferences , exhibitions trade shows and live music events , Victoria Pavilion offers EAs unprecedented flexibility and an exciting blank canvas to reimagine what ’ s possible .
Spectacularly presented within the area ’ s largest , most iconic and versatile indoor / outdoor venue ,
Melbourne Showgrounds , Victoria Pavilion is connected to the 10,000sqm exhibition pavilion by an internal walkway , making it the ideal space for conferences or entertaining in conjunction with large scale trade shows and exhibitions .
Nearby buildings can be used for breakout spaces , and you ’ ll have the opportunity to include award-winning food and beverage options into your carefully curated menus .
Set just 7km from Melbourne ’ s CBD and well-serviced by the city ’ s major arterials for easy access ( there are multiple public transport options to the door , including an on-site railway station and car parking ), Victoria Pavilion is an event organising EA ’ s dream in the booming inner West .
