Carla Offord CEO of The Conference Shop

Carla's business is known as a venue finder. Big businesses go to her to find out where they should host their events, conference, meetings. The website covers venues and meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions (MICE). The regional conferencing solution allows conference organisers to select a region and add suppliers they like to a wish list before receiving all the suppliers' details in a checklist format in their inbox. Organisers then contact each supplier directly, maintaining control of their event at all times. The streamlining saves an estimated 10 to 15 hours of planning and research. She is from NSW's Southern Highlands and advocates for practical bushfire recovery. She discusses working hard to promote fire affected regions to attract business trade back into the areas. The hotels and venues suffered major cancellations and they are really struggling & there is a need to provide real economic support for the local 'mid-week' economy. Carla explains which areas are ready for business, the flow-on effects of conferencing in regions and why this is one of the easiest ways to meet your company's CSR goals for the year.
