Last night our Venue Sales Team partnered with Venue Management Association (Asia and Pacific) to host After 5! The event offers the perfect opportunity for VMA Members and their guests to come together to maintain and develop new industry connections. It was fantastic to host the #networking event in our historic Governers Pavilion and showcase some of our smaller venue spaces. The event was a wonderful way to connect with industry peers who got to hear Joel Edmondson ask our General Manager Jago Coyle about the challenges and surprises that come with events. Thank you to all those who attended, and a special thank you to the VMA for hosting #After5 with us! #brisbaneshowgrounds #venuedevelopment #venue
