Event speakers to share London Olympics experiences

With Australian businesses and individual professionals having played key roles at the London Olympics, an upcoming forum will hear from three Australian professionals who were closely involved with the 2012 Games.
Presented by respected sport export advisor Eric Winton and his New Millennium Business consultancy, the event 'London, I knew you well' will offer attendees the opportunity to learn from first hand experiences at the London Games.
The evening seminar will be held from 5.30 to 8.30pm on Monday 17th December 2012 at the Imperial Hotel Paddington Social Club, 252 Oxford St, Paddington NSW 2021.
The three speakers at the event are:
Jackie Brock-Doyle who headed the London Organising Committee for the Olympic Games' (LOCOG) communications and public affairs and whose first foray into major events was with SOCOG for the Sydney 2000 Olympics. Jackie has just been named the United Kingdom's Public Relations Professional of 2012.
Kerrie Nash who headed LOCOG's workforce planning and delivery and who also emerged as a professional with SOCOG.
Louise Evans, until recently a top journalist with The Australian who offers an unparalleled perspective over many major international sporting events and was engaged by LOCOG during the London Games.
Event organiser Winton explains "the excitement of the London Olympics is over, yet keeps unfolding.
"The success of the Games has many facets and of course there were unexpected challenges. At 'London, I knew you well' (delegates) will hear from and meet top level movers and shakers who created the Games, who were already there from the time of London's bid success. This is an unusually rare chance to hear some personal insights from three excellent professionals.
"London has created new benchmarks for major international events; demonstrated new concepts of presentation and delivery; and changed the global field of competition among events planning and delivery companies.
"There are some valuable lessons for us all (while)the evening will allow (interaction with) many people from the major events industry, some just back from overseas - and that doesn't happen very often!"
Earlybird tickets for the event are available and cost just $55 each.
