Parking Industry Awards Dinner
Tickets are selling fast for the Parking Industry Awards Dinner on 30 October in Melbourne. With only weeks to go the demand for tickets has picked up – don’t miss your opportunity to join colleagues and friends across the parking community for this gala event.
We note with appreciation our fantastic sponsors TNS (Dinner Sponsor); EasyPark ANZ (MC Sponsor) Park Aid and Genetec (Pre-Dinner Drinks Sponsor); and CAVU, DESIGNA Australia, First Parking, Kenex Stencils, Orikan, and UbiPark (Category Sponsors).
Sponsorship opportunities have now closed.
Join us for the industry’s night of nights to celebrate and share with colleagues and friends across the industry.
And to the many (many!) nominees for the Parking Industry Awards – thank you. The response in nominations was as good as we’ve had in years and the calibre of applications exceptional. Finalists will be announced in the coming days.
National Roads & Traffic Expo
Only weeks out and we’re looking forward to seeing colleagues from around Australia at the National Roads & Traffic Expo.
This event (in place of PACE or OUTLOOK) is the major annual event for the parking industry, offering invaluable networking and thought leadership discussions. The program is again brilliant this year with 15 parking-specific sessions including:
- Enhancing the parking experience for all visitors with automatic camera parking
- Airports panel
- Local government and EV uptake
- Debunking EV fire myths
- Case studies from Perth, Sydney, and Japan
- Managing parking in universities
- Entry to the National Roads & Traffic Expo (including the Parking Australia conference stream) is FREE – to register, click here.
And a reminder – the Awards Dinner and the National Roads & Traffic Expo are separate events – please book your tickets via the respective websites.
