FENESTRATION AUSTRALIA 2017 | WINDOWS T his September, Fenestration Australia is heading to Fiji for a conference with a twist. Join us at the five-star resort complex on Denarau Island that incorporates the stunningly situated Sheraton Fiji Resort, the Westin Denarau Island Resort & Spa and the Denarau Golf & Racquet Club into a world class conference hub in the heart of the South Pacific. Experience the welcoming Fijian culture and feel at home from the moment you step on the island. Known as the ‘Isle of Smiles’, there is a reason why the beauty and warmth of Fiji stays with you long after you leave. To open the conference, some old favourites return – the Golf Tournament and Fishing Trip, but with a slice of Fijian flair. The Denarau Island golf course incorporates a unique island theme with bunkers in the shape of marine creatures, tidal bunkers and spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean. With a par of 72, the 7,150-yard course offers tee positions for all levels of golfers. Fiji has some of the best fishing in the world with the clear, deep blue waters outside of the reefs acting as a magnet for many oceanic pelagic and predatory species including marlin, tuna, wahoo and mahi mahi. The full day Fishing Trip will include lunch on Bounty Island, the closest island in the Mamanuca group to the mainland - 48 acres of untouched tropical gardens surrounded by golden soft sand beaches. The official Welcome Party will open the conference in true Fijian style. We invite you to participate in a Yaqona ceremony and experience kava, the national drink of Fiji. The Meke performance invites you to embrace the Fijian love of music and dance. Traditional tales and legends are beautifully told through powerful vocals and elegant gestures intertwined with traditional percussion to create an awe-inspiring performance. The Fiji Experience Partners Tour will visit a local village to see how Fijian traditions and values stand the test of time. A tour of local attractions will be rounded out by a lunch at The Boatshed Restaurant at the Vuda Marina before returning for an afternoon of shopping at the Denarau Marina. Our conference program flips the standard format, with a single day of sessions followed by the Survivor Beach BBQ Day. Will your team vanquish the challenges to become the ultimate Fiji Survivors, or will you be voted off the island? Our dinner events aim to bring you dining experiences as colourful as the enchanting surroundings. On Monday, 18 September, savour the breathtaking beauty of the South Pacific at sunset as we cruise off the coast of Denarau, before returning to The Rhum’Ba for casual tropical dinner and local entertainment. The Gala Dinner on Tuesday, 19 September will bring a formal close to the conference. Combined with the unparalleled South Pacific setting and the natural warmth of the Fijian hospitality, we invite you to indulge in the delicious flavours of Indo-Fijian cuisine. Explore the Possibilities: Join us for a conference with a difference and a truly unforgettable Fijian experience. REGISTER NOW Registrations close Friday 11, August.
