A big thank you to everyone who came, shared, learnt and celebrated growth at the Zones 2019 conference! A lot of subjects were covered by Zones’ talented team of behind-the-scenes specialists, as well as by valued Zones partners Firth and Miyamoto.
To kick off the conference, Zones managing director Matt Steele gave an update of the group which included the recent expansion into North America and Zones co-founder Chris Caiger highlighted Zones’ mission, visions and values. Zones’ digital director Gareth Poley provided tips and tricks on generating leads through marketing. IT specialist Adrian Green updated franchise owners on some exciting updates before a series of workshops began. Encouraging communication and collaboration, Zones’ Australian business manager Tania Sasik guided attendees through getting the most out of the Zones project management process.
Stu Girvan from Firth provided a seminar on what it means to be Firth Ecopave accredited, followed by Brent Neale from Miyamoto, who provided a helpful seminar on council consents.
It wasn’t all seminars and workshops though - upon arrival, attendees were able to enjoy a trip to the Stratosfare Restaurant and Skyline Luge. The final night was an opportunity to dress up and dance the night away at the Zones Awards Dinner. It was a great way to end a fantastic conference, leaving everyone feeling motivated and inspired to enjoy the rest of 2019.
