“Dear Colleague,

Our Events Industry is suffering, and is on the verge of total collapse.

The events sector was the first and hardest hit by the Australian Government’s ban on public gatherings following the outbreak of COVID-19.

Since then, the number of meetings, conferences, festivals and events has effectively gone to zero. The outlook is grim, likely lasting for at least six months.

The countless professionals, contractors and suppliers in the Events Industry have suffered a devastating blow, and are counting on your support.

Will you help?

Sign petition EN1414 to request the Australian Government provide an immediate and substantial financial stimulus to the Events Industry.

SIGN PETITION EN1414

Thank you in advance for your support.”

4. Do you have connections with influencers and/or politicians?

Reach out to them directly and ask for their support. The more visibility we get, the more weight our petition will carry when presented to the House of Representatives.

With enough signatures, we’ll request Hon. Anthony Albanese MP to personally present it to the House of Reps.

And thanks for supporting our Events Industry.

Keep well. Stay safe. Take care.

Warm regards,

Gav George
