Helloworld for Business is holding its annual Business Summit at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre 17 – 19 May.

And guess who’s their top speaker for the event? Qantas CEO Alan Joyce.

Joyce will be a special guest speaker at an exclusive dinner event at Skypoint on the Thursday evening, where he’ll have the chance to interact with the HWFB members ahead of the Helloworld Owner Managers Conference (OMC).

Opening on May 17, the Summit is being held in the days prior to the OMC, with the Friday Night Gala Awards Dinner an amalgamated event for both groups to attend together.

This year Helloworld for Business will be launching two new Award categories, presenting the inaugural Manager of the Year and Office of the Year Awards exclusively for Helloworld for Business members. These awards will be presented at the Gala Awards Dinner on Friday night in conjunction with the Helloworld Owner Managers Conference Awards.

Confirmed presenters and speakers at the Business Summit so far include Michelle Bowdon on ‘Pitching Your Business’, Chris Weedon from GlobalStar presenting on the global travel market and how HWFB and GlobalStar work together and AFTA Chief Executive Jayson Westbury who will be going over the finer details of new Credit Card fee structures and specifically how they are affecting the industry.

MC’d by David Reyne, delegates will also hear from Helloworld senior leadership staff; Andrew Burnes – CEO and Managing Director, David Padman – Head of Associate, Corporate and Affiliate Networks, Cinzia Burnes – Executive Director and Head of Wholesale and Inbound and Stan Scott – Head of Commercial.

“We have consulted with our Helloworld for Business members on what they would most value in their Business Summit and tailored it to their needs. We will be presenting a range of informative and interactive sessions on relevant topics to deliver a real benefit to our HWFB members,” said David Padman, Head of Associate, Corporate and Affiliate Networks.

More information will be released in the lead up to the Business Summit.
