IMEX-MPI-MCI Future Leaders Forum, Australia
The Future Leaders Forum took place in conjunction with the Association of Australian Convention Bureaux (AACB) on the Gold Coast, Australia on 8 September 2011.
60 students from four different Universities attended the Future Leaders Forum. Students had an opportunity to network with AACB staff at a pre-conference mixer event before the AACB Staff Conference began.

Feedback From the Students
“Thank you again for the opportunity to attend the IMEX-MPI Future Leaders Forum. The Forum was absolutely fantastic, I left with such a 'buzz' of excitement and added passion and enthusiasm towards the meeting and events industry. I honestly can't wait to be a part of this rewarding industry. All the speakers were very informative, and each individual's journey to success was extremely inspirational. The benchmark has now been set for me to achieve the same level of success within the meeting and events industry.”

“Thank you for the opportunity to attend the Future Leaders Forum in Australia, I really learnt a lot! The one session where I particularly learnt a lot in was session two. It really taught me how the Convention Bureau of Australia works and the part they play in our industry! Thanks again I look forward to working with you!”

“I would just like to thank you for the opportunity of attending the IMEX-MPI Future Leaders Forum. I did not know what to expect, but as the day progressed I realised how lucky and fortunate I was to being involved in such a helpful and insightful Forum…. Once again, I would just like to thank you for the opportunity that 'money couldn't buy' as one of the speakers said. I have taken a lot from it and I am now a lot more motivated to follow my desired career.”
