CEO's Report

Forums 2020 2020 is now fully underway and so are our next round of hospitality industry forums. These forums, supported with funding from the Tasmanian government, provide us with an important opportunity to get together and discuss those critical issues that affect the day to day running of our businesses. The forums also provide us with an opportunity to invite guest speakers, to help us with the development of our businesses and ways to promote the growth and development of our industry. The forums also include networking events that provide an opportunity to further develop our business relationships and networks across the industry.
