Announcing the 2022 National Local Government Customer Service Conference and Awards
9 - 10 November 2022, Rydges Port Macquarie
Shout out to all our customer service experts who have made it through the past two years. While some of us may be battered and bruised… we have survived!
The National Executive Committee are so excited to be hosting the 2022 Annual National Local Government Customer Service Conference and Awards at the beautiful Rydges Port Macquarie.
It has been three years since we have been all together in person (IRL). The Executive are fine tuning the program and have already engaged inspirational keynote speakers, council members to present thought-provoking case studies and sponsor presentations. Not only is the conference designed to be jam-packed with useful content to take back to your Council, but is the forum to network with your peers.
This is our opportunity to reconnect with each other, share some stories, innovations, laughs and celebrate each other!
So join us in Port Macquarie for “Reconnect” – IRL (in Real Life) or Virtual on 9-10 November 2022
