About

Specifically for Councils and tourism organisations, the Premium Accelerator Program focuses on boosting the event management knowledge and skills of a selected cohort of existing and emerging events within a regional destination.

Part online learning, part one-on-one intensive training, this 12-week hybrid program aims to ensure that events in a region are equipped with the capability to complement and support the overarching tourism and community objectives within their area.

The Premium Accelerator Program is a unique opportunity for Councils and tourism organisations to

  • identify events that offer the most potential

  • support the ones that need targeted help to achieve their potential, and 

  • foster growth in emerging events that could boost tourism opportunities within a region.

The 12 weeks of guided training and assessment is a mix of one-on-one online mentoring, group sessions and online learning. It covers the modules matched with intensive one-on-one event management coaching focused specifically on providing tailored support in the core areas each event needs it most. A comprehensive report is provided at the end of the program offering Councils a roadmap to plan their event strategy sustainably.

Other benefits include

  • Ability to foster the sustainable growth of events in a region

  • Targeted and beneficial support to those emerging events that have the capacity to deliver a transformational experience for visitors to their region

  • Increase the economic and social impact of events

  • Create stronger connections and relationships between events, Council and tourism bodies

  • Ensure events are equipped with the knowledge, operating systems, skills and processes to help them deliver a successful event

The Premium Accelerator Program is of huge benefit to regional destination managers who seek a clearer understanding of WHICH events in their region need support, as well as the HOW, WHEN, WHERE & WHY!
