IABC Victoria Gala Dinner – Wednesday 14 July 2010, SOLD OUT!

What is more important to an organisation’s reputation: internal or external communications? 

The IABC Victoria 2010 Gala Dinner asks What is more important to an organisation’s reputation: internal or external communications?

The internal viewpoint will be expressed by:

 The external viewpoint will be expressed by:

Last year's attendees ranked our Gala Dinner 8.6/10. This year we're shooting for a 10!

Here’s what Tristan Everett, Senior Communications Manager - Corporate Responsibility, Integrated Communications and Brand, NAB, said about last year’s event: "Last year was a great night. In true IABC style it's much more than just a dinner. It's the best chance to catch up with communications leaders from several industries, find out how they're tackling the latest challenges, and get involved in friendly discussion and debate that involves the whole room. And the food and wine's damn fine as well!"

Where: Crown Casino*

Cost: $105 members, $100 corporate members, $165 non-members
