Testimonials

"TIGC24 was such a wonderful experience I am delighted that I was selected to take part in such a special event. Seeing how much the Gold Coast has to offer and how much has just been upgraded, refurbed or freshly built for consideration in my work in the future was wonderful. I hope I have another chance to come again and thank the full Experience Gold Coast team for what must have been a lot of long hours and extensive planning – it was worth it!"
Emma McPartlan, ICMS Australasia

 

“Wow, Wow, Wow. Thank you to the TIGC24 team for staging an amazing and insightful week. It was terrific to be able to meet suppliers, taste the food, see and experience venues first-hand and dip your toes into the water for future event plans on the Gold Coast, over many fruitful conversations. All combined, this will lead to producing our next great event on the Gold Coast.”
