Making effective communication a key part of your business

Tomorrow’s inaugural Leisure Industry Communication and Marketing Summit and Awards is looking to reshape how all sectors of the leisure industry face up to key communications, marketing and public relations management and challenges in the coming years.

Ready to equip delegates with key learnings on the future of communication in the industry - covering trends, opportunities, best practice, case studies and crisis management - speakers at the Summit will emphasis why effective communications, marketing and public relations is vital for any business.

Karen Sweaney, event co-organiser and Editor of Australasian Leisure Management explains “while we will be covering fundamentals of communications, marketing and public relations, speakers at the event will also be covering emerging trends.

“Over the past 10 years, social media and technology has revolutionised how we communicate but what do the next 10 years hold?

“There is potential for further exponential change that will take industry and society to places we may currently not be able to imagine.”

Sessions at the Summite will cover:

• Effective communication to build brands, reputation and profit
• Dealing with scrutiny
• Communication and marketing in the age of social media
• Planning for crisis and emergency communications

Presentations will feature industry leaders in aquatics, attractions, entertainment, events, fitness, recreation, sport, tourism and venues, with keynotes to be delivered by:

• Kyle Patterson, Head of Communications and Corporate Affairs, TEG Live
• Liz McLaughlin, Managing Director, Horizon Communications Group
• Marcus Taylor, Head of Communications and Public Affairs, Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games Organising Committee
