Coming Soon

Hello all,

While waiting to check out of my hotel in Yogyakarta I have updated Ian Pidd's bio below. Now you can read again what an amazing speaker he will be.

Be back in Australia Monday and then I will begin putting the final touches on the Dream Big Conference.

I've learnt some lessons on running conferences here in Indonesia. But I don't know where I am going to find a hundred embroidered water bottle covers? Or thirty punks?

John Harvie - Fourth Speaker

General Manager Deni Play on the Plains Festival Ltd

John is in his fifth year as General Manager of the Deni Play on the Plains Festival Ltd which presents the hugely successful, Deni Ute Muster annually in October at Deniliquin in the Southern Riverina region of New South Wales.

Whilst John has over thirty years of experience in executive management, this has been in the export food manufacturing industry. His role at Deniliquin with the Deni Ute Muster is his first experience in the event management field.

John believes his contribution to the event has been to provide a clear strategic focus, build a sound business foundation and to introduce a solid planning regime.

John also believes in working closely with all stakeholders including sponsors, artists and over 1000 volunteers to ensure that everyone associated with the event continues to have a degree of ownership and pride in the success of the event.

He will provide a valuable insight into strategies employed in maintaining the popularity and success of a major regional event.
