"I found the program insightful and useful on many levels. I am involved in a couple of projects in various stages of design or construction and found the information from the Sports Facility Management Program to be applicable across various phases of these projects."
Bruce Mackay - Centre Manager
Monash Aquatic and Recreation Centre


"The Program is a rare gathering of industry professionals that enables the exchange of information, expertise and innovation as well as establishing networks that will be valuable for years to come. I have used the information gained, and the thinking that it prompted, since the course to build and establish the operation of a national standard sports facility. The program challenged me to think, was good value, and for anyone involved in venue management is one that is definitely worth attending."

"The Program is an extremely worthwhile experience. The course lecturers were experienced professionals, actively working within the industry and were able to relate their practical experiences, good and bad, to participants. I would recommend this course to any current or prospective venue manager."

A comprehensive program from concept planning through to facility operation, with excellent presenters and relevant case studies has certainly broadened my knowledge and provided me with a practical toolkit to apply to my projects. Combine all this with the networking opportunities with international participants and leading industry professionals and you have a program not to be missed."
