Join us for an inspiring and Industry Forum event at Grampians Grape Escape, where we’ll come together to discuss resilience, recovery, and the optimistic future of our beloved tourism industry following recent challenges. This forum is not just an event; it’s a chance to reconnect, become uplifted, and explore innovative ideas that can help our community and businesses thrive.

We’re excited to announce Curtis McGrath OAM as our keynote speaker. As a Paralympic gold medallist, Invictus Games ambassador, and former Australian Army combat engineer, Curtis brings an inspiring story of leadership, resilience, and determination that will set the tone for a powerful afternoon. Following Curtis, Brendan McClements, CEO of Visit Victoria, will discuss the role of tourism in our recovery, ensuring we’re all on the right path moving forward.

But that’s not all! We’re excited to host a Business Panel featuring local investors who are passionate about revitalizing our region. With a diverse lineup from around the region, this panel promises to spark dynamic discussions about investing in the Grampians and Wimmera Mallee.

Mark Gunning from the CFA will then share insights on safety and preparedness, followed by Charlie Richardson from Parks Victoria, who will discuss the importance of our natural spaces in tourism recovery. We’ll wrap up with a presentation on the new GWMT Visitor App and Kiosks, ensuring we’re equipped with the best tools (sustainably) to engage our visitors.

Concluding the forum, you will have the opportunity to network, enjoy a wine and celebrate the resilient spirit of the Grampians community at the Feel Good Friday event at Grampians Grape Escape.

This is a forum not to be missed, seats are limited so sign up today.

Let’s recover, reconnect, and rejuvenate together.
