Conference "Dine Around" Dinner

Date: Thursday 2 September 2010
Venue: Various locations around Brisbane
Time: From 6pm

Experience Brisbane’s restaurant culture in small intimate settings with industry colleagues!

Instead of a traditional conference dinner, ALIA Access 2010 has selected some of Brisbane’s finest restaurants for delegates to experience. From Seafood to Mediterranean – there is sure to be a cuisine to suit your tastes...

Dress code: Smart Casual
Booking Process: One $60.00 voucher is included in all full Conference registrations. A further $20.00 deposit is required to secure your booking.
Additional non-delegate guests will require an $80.00 deposit.

Please indicate your preferred restaurant and sitting time during the registration process. The restaurant will be pre-paid for your $80.00 deposit – any additional expenditure must be settled with the restaurant on the night of the dinner. Should you not spend your full deposit, no refunds will be offered on the night.

Note: Bookings for the conference dinners close on Wednesday 25 August 2010.
