IAKS ANZ networking event a huge success

IAKS ANZ showcased the benefits of an IAKS membership through an exhibition booth and a successful IAKS network event. IAKS members had the opportunity to connect, network and create new ties to both local and international members, during the IAKS network event held in conjunction with Australasia’s leading community sport and recreation convention, at the 2022 National Sports and Physical Activity Convention held on 11-13 July.

The IAKS network event held on Tuesday 12 July 2022 at the Melbourne Convention Centre, was a welcomed addition to Australasia’s leading community sport and recreation convention, attracting many existing members from across Australia and New Zealand, as well as internationally.

The network event was designed to create an opportunity for current members to meet and connect with like-minded professionals, promote cross-sector exchange and valuable networking. Our members continued to develop new ties with other local and international members, exchanging ideas and in turn supporting the growth of the sport and leisure industry.

Feedback from members detailed the event as being an excellent opportunity to meet others who share an interest in the development of the sports industry. Highlighting, the value of their fellow members, “I’ve made some new valuable networks from attending this event and I’m looking forward to the attending other events coming up” said Richie Williams from Stadia Arena.

Australian IAKS member, Brett Diprose (Warren and Mahoney Architects), attended the event, saying “It’s fantastic to see the Australian sports industry engaging and understanding the value that IAKS brings to the Asia Pacific region and vice versa. Shared knowledge and experience should never be undervalued.”
