Supplier Forums and presentations
MP22's supplier forums and presentations will be held at the Cairns Convention Centre on Tuesday 22nd November.
These sessions will run concurrently to the B2B meetings. This will enable sellers who have meetings in the morning to attend the afternoon sessions and vice versa.
The supplier sessions will focus on three core talking points; an ATEC issues & solutions forum for suppliers followed by interactive discussions led by our government partner agencies Austrade and Tourism Australia focused on recovery support strategies and consumer research defining the future customer.
Please see further details about each of the sessions below:
