Dear Friends & Colleagues
Would you not agree that the APAA provided an AMAZING Australasian Aesthetics Educational Conference & Expo at the Palazzo Versace a few short weeks ago??
We have received an overwhelming support of comments & feedback from those that attended our event…once again my heartfelt thanks to all the EXHIBITORS who have supported the APAA..I know & understand what it takes to travel & present interstate & because of this you are to be congratulated by us on your presence at our expo. My grateful appreciation to the wonderful PRESENTERS at the Educational Conference & Expo…your presence resonated with the delegates as they listened to you speak in the Conference and also present on the Stage (catwalk). Your generosity in time & effort in preparing your delivery during this event is heartening for the APAA as well as to the industry. What can I say but a HUGE thank you to our SPONSORS who donated so generously towards the APAA Awards of Excellence winners as well as to the APAA members who attended the two days of Paid Conferences. Finally to John Ellis from Millenium 3 for his cash sponsorship to our event and also to our Platinum Sponsor, Arron Coote whose wonderful generosity contribution to the APAA enabled us to move ahead with our project in 2010.
The APAA has finally compiled photos of the APAA Awards of Excellence Dinner and these are available FREE to you to use in any of your advertising brochures & mail-outs. Please call the APAA Office on (07) 5575 9364 if you would a copy of this on a DVD.
