Adrenalin / Island Sydney Function Update - 25 October 2011
We’ve had unprecedented interest in our upcoming function to be held on The Island Sydney as guests of Adrenalin next week with over 200 registrations in under 24 hours.
Unfortunately we are now operating a wait list for this event and due to the overwhelming demand we are only allowing Full Members to join the wait list.
Given the nature of the EA role and those unavoidable last minute work issues that do sometimes arise we do expect some attrition and cancellations between now and the event. Consequently we will be doing everything we possibly can to try and accommodate as many of those Full Members from the wait list as possible who wish to attend.
Full Members can register for the function by visiting the Networking Events section of the website.
