 
The Alice Springs Convention Centre was honoured to be one of the key sponsors for the MEA conference. This annual event provided us with the opportunity to welcome MEA delegates on behalf of our centre and the town of Alice Springs.
The Alice Springs Convention Centre houses the versatile MacDonnell Room which can seat up to 1200 delegates, the Ellery Room which can seat up to 450 delegates or be broken down into quarters or halves, and the impressive Ghan Foyer which is the ideal location for registrations, catering stations and pre-dinner drinks.
The convention centre is the ideal conferencing venue in Alice Springs - located under th e majestic MacDonnell Ranges and attached to the 4.5 star Lasseters Hotel Casino. With 140 rooms, bars, restaurants and gaming facilities, the complex has proved itself to be the perfect platform to enjoy the delights that Central Australia has to offer.
 
IML Australia was delighted to sponsor the MEA National Conference in Alice Springs this year and add its name to a distinguished list of supporters. The event provided us with a valuable opportunity to demonstrate our expertise as the event feedback specialists.
Delegates were provided with electronic keypads giving them the opportunity to submit honest and anonymous feedback by voting or using our text messaging facility.
Formerly Ezicomms, we were able to draw on our extensive experience to ensure that our latest technology was integrated seamlessly into every plenary and break-out session.
Our team at the event, Pete, Gavin, Sandy, Su sie and Ryan, would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the delegates who took the time to submit valuable feedback and those who stopped to visit us at our exhibition stand. Your contributions ensured an enjoyable and successful venture for IML Australia.
