THE PROGRAMME
[Hot-Doggin' ]
Originally used as a moniker for the surfer prone to show-off on a longboard. Currently used to describe what surfers do to gain speed in weak surf. Characterized by a large amount of leg pumping and back-and-forth tracking on the wave.


Coming to join us for 'Mastering the Pipeline? Here's what you can expect:


Through its mix of workshops, plenary, panel and interactive breakout sessions, this conference will offer you a valuable range of knowledge and tools to help you "feed your business pipeline" at one end and maximise the revenue coming out at the other end. Or just simply to manage your existing pipeline better and more productively.

The Pavilion at Hyatt Coolum is a unique venue with the benefit of bringing the exhibition right into the conference area. Refreshments will be inside the Expo area, maximising your networking ensuring great fun and laughter and lots of long conversations during the breaks...

We took all the feedback on board after our 2008 conference, making the development of this valuable programme easy for us! In addition we have some surprises that will cement the value of your investment in these few days.

See below for the fun stuff - the Pipeline Pool Party to top off the conference.
