Helping Prepare You, Your Company and Your Industry for the Future
The Ground-breaking Peak Industry Event

In the life of ACETA, I can’t recall an initiative that has been met with a more positive response, than the announcement of the Inaugural Industry Convention. This ground-breaking gathering will be held in the City of Wangaratta from the 4th through 6th May 2018, and based on feedback to date, the timing and location has been extremely well received. In fact, many planning to attend indicate they will extend the visit to include their own corporate conference and explore the region with partners. Together the timing and region proved to be the most cost-effective and inclusive, with a location and its amenities offering the optimum setting for both business and leisure.
The inaugural convention is the first time in the long history of Australian entertainment technology, that all industry sectors will convene in a non-commercial environment for social interaction, personal, corporate and industry development, to explore the business landscape of the future and be inspired. From the outset, it was clear the most productive program would feature an appropriate balance of work and play and that is exactly what is planned, the optimum networking environment.
Planning is well advanced, the venues have been booked, delegate accommodation rates have been negotiated, and the support of the cities administration is confirmed. With regard to social activities, the Jubilee championship course has been booked for Friday’s golf day, planning for the wine tasting hosted by the regions vignerons association is underway, and the gala Saturday evening industry dinner dance arrangements have commenced. Other delegate and partner activities will be announced in due course, that will take advantage of what the region has to offer. The event infrastructure and social aspects have been dealt with well in advance, so the core focus can be assigned to the all-important convention program ensuring its content deals with the expressed needs of the entertainment technology industry.
Two convention rooms will be used, where ten workshops or forums of fifty minutes duration will be conducted over Saturday and Sunday, a total of 20 presentations. The subject matter will be varied and include business and leadership coaching, an example topic being strategic planning. It may also include workshops led by the ACMA dealing with the Digital Dividend and RCM product compliance. We aim to have representatives from the federal government ministry of trade, industry and small business, and possibly the ATO with regard to R&D tax incentives. In addition, there will be informed presentations on understanding and addressing the challenges presented by e-commerce, workplace OH&S, credit and the credit industry along with insurance and the looming Cyberspace crime issues. The future and how to effectively work with traditional, new and social media will be addressed as will SEOs. An interesting request from several is the possibility of facilitating a forum to deal with corporate amalgamation, acquisition, and resource sharing. Also on the table is the ACETA accreditation / certification initiative covering issues pertaining to compliant and ethical practises and includes venue and product safety.
 To realise an inclusive, well-structured and effective program, the convention will address the needs of both the manufacturer and the manufacturer’s representative who have common and also unique requirements, as do the suppliers of industry services who constitute ACETA’s associate membership. The program will not be finalised for some time, as we need to continue researching and receiving input from all stakeholders. In the meantime, and subject to change, the convention format looks something like the following:

In summary, this planned convention format allows delegates to participate at a leisurely pace or be fully occupied and we are committed to a program that will inform and inspire If you have suggestion concerning program content please contact the ACETA Office info@aceta.org.au .
