Testimonials
The Bell Bay Major Conference was for us, a huge success. It was an absolute credit to the BBAMZ and the organisors. We now all wait and hope that the State and Federal Governments come to the realisation of the potential and benefits that can be provided for Tasmania and the country, by the major companies involved in the Bell Bay initiative. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Bell Bay Major Projects Conference was a great opportunity to meet local industry people from a range of backgrounds, and learn about new projects and aspirations. It was also an enjoyable event for networking and general social interactions. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Bell Bay Major Projects Conference 2023 was excellent! The host was fantastic to encourage conversation with the panel discussions as well as passionate speakers updating the market on all major projects within Tasmania. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The feedback I have received from industry was that it was the best conference they had been to that illustrated what was happening on the ground and having the decision makers in the room to network with. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
