Deserted Island It Was Not.





With the pivotal Gala Dinner’s theme set as ‘Castaway’, the ARCRC was a billowing hit! Tom Hanks himself would have wished to attend the cocktail party, kick starting what was to be a riveting 3 day conference on the 4th of April. Located at the picturesque Mantra at Salt, Kingscliff, the 3 day Australasian Credit Risk Conference hosted 200 guests.

Delegates from banks such as CBA, ANZ, Westpac, and NAB were so keen to be swept up in the adventure that we were quickly prompted to extend numbers from 150 upwards (not to mention the waiting list!).

Over the course of the 3 day conference, 30 speakers of international calibre entertained and educated guests. With an agenda boasting world-class content in credit risk solutions, each session was packed to the rafters with delegates who were engaged and keen to participate. (Some sittings were so engaging that the guests wished to remain stranded on the island that was the ARCRC, even after the conference had concluded!).

Events, sessions, speakers and social mixers patch-worked the entire 3 days so seamlessly that it seems that M&a have managed to turn what was the first, into definitely not the last ARCRC that this side of the hemisphere will see.

Once again it seems that M&a has managed to pioneer a stellar event! Ai Ai Captain McCorkell!
