The vision of evolving towards a national organisation is fast becoming a reality for all of us. The success of our 2012 International Conference is testament to such as we move forward in this emerging new "global world".

In what was a totally sold out event, Greg du Chateau , Carmel Sowden and all the conference team made up of both members and staff, created a program that was educational and inspirational – a true success.

It was also an opportunity for members to socially interact and share knowledge and opinions on industry matters.

From whichever perspective one looks at the 50th anniversary event, it was a raising of the bar, a conferring of our status, a collegial atmosphere. A true example of our exclusivity.

Congratulations to AIBS members, attendees, guests and staff on a job well done!!
