Happy Easter Everyone!
It has been a busy first quarter for the girls at Iceberg – starting with our long-time clients Cornett’s IGA for their Staff Conference on Daydream Island (tough gig!), and then Foot Locker Asia Pacific’s Team Week at the Gold Coast (again – tough gig!). A new client, Selected Independent Funeral Homes (SIFH), had their meeting at the Four Seasons in Sydney which included walking tours of The Rocks and cruising on Sydney Harbour (should I say it again?).
As well as going to AIME in Melbourne to see what is around (the Australasian Incentives and Meetings Exhibition - a big trade show for people who organise meetings), we also went along to the opening of the new BCEC on Grey Street – which will be a fabulous addition for conferencing in Brisbane! Some great spaces, and fantastic built in AV possibilities. Looking forward to using it!
NETWORX Marketers Meetings has been great this year – two sold out events so far! One at Iceworks, and one at Eagle Street Conference Venue, ably facilitated by Cat Matson, Business CATalyst.
So now we go into planning mode again for some of the bigger conferences that we have coming up later in the year in places like Bowral, NSW, Sydney, Melbourne and Hobart. We will also be working on Hong Kong for a client in 2013.
Looking forward to working with you soon,
Jodie Parker
Managing Director

The Iceberg girls experience Tallship Island Adventures
|
|
 When the Iceberg Events team received an invitation to McLarens Landing's 13th Birthday, hosted by Tallship Island Adventures, we couldn't resist the opportunity to check out the promise of "'Famous for Fun' Party"! We wanted to see how a corporate/conference group would enjoy this kind of off-shore activity.

Cornett's IGA Managers Conference
|
|
 The Cornett's IGA Managers Conference was held on Daydream Island from the 9-12 February 2012. 60 delegates from all over regional Queensland and 50 selected suppliers attended.
Over the four days, delegates enjoyed a variety of social functions including a trivia night, a day trip to White Haven beach to participate in team building activities such as beach volleyball, cricket, touch football and of course swimming.
Olympic gymnist, Brennon Dowrick, gave the IGA delegates an inspiring and motivating presentation and even performed his gold medal winning pommel horse routine!
On the final night of the conference, the IGA Awards Night Dinner was held at the outdoor cinema area on the south-end of the island. Delegates and suppliers dressed up as pirates to fit the theme - check out the fantastic photos! It was a fun night had by all and a very successful conference.
