“ The events world is still suffering badly from COVID-19 all but wiping out the industry . The flow on effect of staff and skills shortages , stricter regulations in venues , the preference for many speakers to deliver online rather than in person and freight delays cause many challenges in delivering quality events .
“ But I have been blessed with a brilliant team who don ’ t compromise our standards and will carry the baton moving forward .”
Christine has lots of stories we can ’ t print !
She said : “ You ’ d be amazed at the personal details people share in order to get a room upgrade and some of the things that should definitely ‘ stay on tour ’.”
FINALLY , CHRISTINE ’ S TOP THREE FAVOURITE SPEAKERS OVERS THE YEARS :
1 . Li Cunxin ( Mao ’ s Last Dancer ) for the passion with which he tells his amazing story .
2 . Olympic cyclist Anna Meares with her humble story of incredible triumphs , low points and resilience .
3 . Vinh Giang as he uses a very clever combination of magic skills which translate into communication skills in a highly entertaining presentation .
THANK YOU CHRISTINE GRAY FOR YOUR DEDICATION AND PASSION .
We will all miss you and wish you well in your retirement . Enjoy your family time and travels and plenty of golf games !
Christine with her events team Kirby Pearce and Emma Vandenham
