Sydney, Wednesday 12th April 2017: MICE trade event, Get Global, has today opened registrations for buyers to attend the inaugural event being held this July, and is offering an exclusive 'Smartphoneograhy' workshop to the first to register.

With just over 3 months to go before Get Global opens, founders Donna Kessler and Gary Bender are encouraging in-house corporate and trade MICE practitioners from Australia and New Zealand to register early for the event to avoid disappointment.

“We have been delighted with the huge amount of interest shown in the first Get Global event and are now pleased to welcome Zoom School as an event partner.  We will offer the first 40 delegates to register for Get Global a place in Zoom School's innovative 'smartphoneography' course,” said Gary.

Zoom School is a cutting-edge photography and multimedia school run by some of the most experienced working professionals in their field and is part of the long-established and well-known, Zoom Productions.

Anthony Vallario, Zoom Productions and Zoom School, Managing Director, “Like Zoom, Get Global is innovative, forward-thinking and uses industry leading knowledge and expertise.  With the advent of the new golden age of marketing, digital, we've developed 'Smartphoneography' to help small businesses get the most out of their smartphone video camera and create high-quality, commercially compelling content with their social media platforms in mind.” 

The one hour workshop will be held the same day as Get Global, from 8am - 9am, before show floor opens.  Developed specifically with Get Global delegates in mind, the workshop will teach delegates how to take great photos at their next event, using nothing but a smartphone.   

To attend the workshop, be one of the first 40 people to visit getglobal.com.au and register to attend. Registrations are now open.

Get Global provides an innovative and efficient business platform for international suppliers to connect with corporate meeting planners, incentive houses, PCO's, travel companies and anyone else that has international group business from Australia.

Get Global will be held in The Gallery, at the International Convention Centre on Friday 28th July, 2017. Find out more: www.getglobal.com.au
