"Tweetup's are great for generating new ideas, sharing knowledge, meeting like minded people and collaboration and networking leading to business opportunities which is what we have seen a lot of at Tourism Tweetup" says Holly Galbraith. 

Tourism Tweetup will be held at Harts Pub, 176 Cumberland St Sydney, Tuesday 16 October from 6pm. Tourism Tweetup is a free event however RSVP's are appreciated.
