Contracts did evolve\, but inconsistently. The virus also evolved\, giving rise to a variety of government responses – lockdowns\, bans on meetings\, attendance limits for meetings\, various protocols for attendance\, such as QR codes\, mask mandates and social distancing. \nCOVID-19 was (and may remain) a major driver of conference cancellations and postponements since 2020 – but we should not forget the bushfires\, floods\, storms and power outages that have also intruded on conference business. \nIn this session\, Renee Bennett from Encanta\, PCO Association councillor (WA)\, an industry-leading PCO\, will quiz Matt Crouch\, well-known specialist events lawyer\, on the concept of force majeure. Matt will then outline what your events contracts should now be saying about such intervening circumstances. \n\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”17933″ img_size=”full” css=”.vc_custom_1653893913125{padding-bottom: 3rem !important;}”]REGISTER FOR WEBINAR[/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]About the Presenters \nMatt Crouch\n\n\nMatt Crouch is well-known as the legal expert in the events sector\, having specialised for over 35 years in assisting event-participants of all kinds\, particularly PCOs\, event managers (including many who operate in-house\, within associations) venues and others. \nMatt practices as a solicitor\, teaches event-law and frequently contributes legal columns in events industry publications.

And to create trust we have to build strong relationships first. In this webinar we will cover how there is no difference between business and personal relationship. That every relationship\, in all areas of life\, are personal relationships and how to use that engage and influence behaviours. \nEach person is different in the way they take in and process information\, and in the way they respond to different situations. Knowing how to read those differences is vital to your business and personal life success. How often have you put a presentation together\, and after going over it several times and having felt you’ve got it spot on\, you then went out and delivered it only to have it miss the mark altogether? Or you’ve spoken to a family member\, only to have them misunderstand you and then for things to get out of hand? In this webinar we will cover the non-verbal signs that highlight those differences and give away what they may be trying to conceal. \nI’ll take you through a simple process to how to: \n\nRead people and know their personalities without needing to ask a single question.\nCommunicate with them in the way they want to be spoken to.\nKnow when you have rapport and gained their trust.\nRecognise and act when they are ready to buy.\n\n\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space alter_height=”medium” hide_on_mobile=”1\,2″]REGISTER FOR WEBINAR[/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”15945″ img_size=”full” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” link=”https://kapara.rdbk.com.au/landers/2113d2.html”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row gap=”35″ content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1599515057832{margin-top: 3rem !important;}”][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]About the Presenter \nAlan Stevens\nAlan Stevens is an International Profiling and Communications Specialist regularly featured on National TV\, Radio and in the World’s Press\, profiling the likes of our leading politicians\, TV and sports stars as well as Britain’s Royalty.

Our ability to adapt and navigate each day is key when everything feels like it isn’t within your control. \nIn this webinar\, Belinda will have you “tuning-in” to shift out of autopilot to be adaptive in times of change and uncertainty. Feel fuelled rather than fatigued by the changes happening\, learn to shift your focus when distraction is everywhere\, and build your adaptive intelligence muscle along the way. \nIn this webinar: \n\nLearn how to shift out of cruise control and work with discomfort\, so you lead yourself consciously ensuring bias and blindspots don’t lead to self-sabotage.\nRecognise your patterns of resistance and engage with others to build stronger connection.\nHuman beings need safety\, belonging and meaning. Get better at experimenting in times of uncertainty\, building new habits and checking in regularly\, so you have a ‘flexible plan’.\nEnsure you don’t lose sight of “recovery” and remain focused on showing up as the best version of you\, whilst continuing to build trust with others along the way.\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”14798″ img_size=”full” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” css=”.vc_custom_1588199557332{padding-bottom: 3rem !important;}” link=”https://login.redbackconferencing.com.au/landers/page/799e1c”]REGISTER FOR WEBINAR[/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]About the Presenter \nBelinda Brosnan\nBelinda will show you how to halve your overwhelm and double your impact when under pressure.

SUMMARY:PCOA Webinar Series: Lessons learnt to prepare you post COVID-19
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” gap=”35″ content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]\nPCOA Webinar Series: Lessons learnt to prepare you post COVID-19\nDate:  Thursday 23 April 2020\nTime:   1:30 pm to 2:00 pm AEST \nWebinar Overview \nCOVID-19 is a real test for everyone\, none more so than operators of conference management companies who now face the very real prospect of an entire year without any more incoming revenue. The challenges are multiple and complex – a business to save\, unpleasant decisions to make about staff\, clients to advise\, refunds and postponements to process and an ever present need to drastically reduce costs. There are lessons to be learnt from many previous disasters and crises and these will be discussed. \nJust as important is keeping an eye to the future. We are already seeing that digital meetings are not seen by many as a satisfactory replacement for in-person conferences. There is every likelihood that whenever the current madness is over\, there will be an increased demand for face-to-face conferences. There are things you can do now to prepare for the much better times to come. \nEffectively the thrust of this webinar will be do whatever you need to do to survive now so that you are in a good position to benefit from a surge in demand later. \nThis webinar will include: \n\nA review of survival strategies that have worked in a PCO setting during past crises – 2 recessions\, GFC\, Pilot’s strike and Terrorist attacks.\nSuggestions for guiding clients through the maze of options and challenges caused by COVID-19.\nOptions for your business – many of which you are probably doing already!\nGetting ready for the “other side”. This will end and the chances are you’ll be as busy as ever.\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”12615″ img_size=”full” css=”.vc_custom_1586224888433{padding-bottom: 3rem !important;}”]REGISTER FOR WEBINAR[/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]About the Presenter \nAshley Gordon\nAshley co-founded Carillon Conference Management Pty Limited (CCM) in Brisbane in 1985.
