Submission Management Forum
Submission management forum a great success!

Aurora Marketing’s first submission management forum was a great success attracting 80 guests from Queensland and interstate.

Held on July 3 at Brisbane’s Emporium Hotel, the forum provided tender professionals with expert advice on bid preparations as well as a valuable opportunity to network with industry colleagues.

Guest speaker and Queensland Department of Transport Acting Director-General, David Stewart, provided a valuable insight into government bids and in particular what the selection panel looks for when assessing tender applications.

Aurora Marketing Managing Director Leann Webb thanked everyone for their support and looks forward to future forums.
“The response to the first forum was amazing and the feedback has been very positive,” she said.
“It was particularly useful to find out what the people on the other end of the tender process are looking for and expect from bid applications.”

For more information about future forums contact Kahla Pike on 3211 4299 or email kahla@auroramarketing.com.au.
Thanks again to all who participated in the first 2008 submission management forum. We look forward to working closely with you in the future.
