Sunday morning, the wives rallied their trusty steads (aka husbands) and saddled up for the Wife Carrying Race. With record entries, the lineup was tough. We didn’t take out the trophy (boo), but we gave the kids an opportunity to laugh at their parents for the rest of the weekend.

Read MoreOur Event Guru, Claire:
I was very excited to be attending the summit and had very high expectations of the conference due to the notable calibre of presenters. Sadly, the summit was not as I expected and I felt a bit disappointed at the lack of inspiration and education provided. Maybe that was my overly high expectations letting me down, but I can honestly say that I have received more valuable insights from locally run workshops and conferences in the Toowoomba region than I did at this big-named summit.
Team Tilma are excited to be managing a project that will fast-track the growth and development of Deniliquin as a vibrant regional destination.
Often small regional destinations don't have the big bucks for tourism promotion. We commend Edward River Council for pushing ahead with a levy on commercial businesses in Deniliquin to increase their available funds so they could apply for matched funding from Destination NSW. This has given Council a budget of $240,000 for tourism promotion! This was a smart, strategic way for Visit Deni to create an exciting campaign.

Read MoreCoolamon Shire is a rich agricultural and pastoral district, located in the Riverina region of NSW. In recent years, Coolamon Shire has focused on developing and marketing festivals and events as key drivers of visitation. Rural Australian agricultural and tourism businesses are working together to embrace agri-tourism and capitalize on its benefits. Coolamon Cheese is an example of this, with nineteen artisan cheeses crafted from local Riverina milk in a historic 1920s co-op building.
Read MoreIn late September I attended the Australian Event Awards and Symposium at Novotel Twin Waters on the Sunshine Coast (go regional Queensland!). The whole event was absolutely amazing and I want to share some thoughts from my time.
The most amazing part of the few days was being with like-minded people and absorbing all their creativity, knowledge and experience. It has made me think about my role at Tilma much more creatively and be inspired by all marketing and events that come across my desk. This is a symposium I would suggest anyone with an interest in events attend! You won’t regret it!
