6th Annual NARPACA Ticketing Professionals Conference

PEOPLE: The Human Face of the Box Office

The 2010 NARPACA Ticketing Professionals Conference and Trade Show in Sydney will build on the success of five other annual events with the theme "PEOPLE: The Human Face of the Box Office". The 2008 Conference in Melbourne developed “CRM: a box office headache or a marriage made in heaven?” and the 2009 Conference in Gold Coast explored “Strike Gold: Mining Box Office Knowledge”. The 2010 Conference theme builds on the foundation provided by previous conferences and explores the importance of the human resource.

Over three busy days you will hear from national and international experts and network with your peers from around Australia. As part of the conference, the trade show offers system vendors and you the opportunity to share, discuss and demonstrate recent advances in ticketing systems and the analysis of box office data.

In 2010 Ticketing Professionals are meeting in Sydney 10-12 February to share ideas, compare thoughts and discuss initiatives to ensure that technology does not distract us from the importance of PEOPLE: The Human Face of the Box Office.

Performance is at the core of most entertainment. The performing arts are about a performance on stage each night that is the effective result of the cooperation of a lot of different people both back stage and front of house. People help deliver the service of live performance in a variety of roles from the usher to the artist to the person behind the bar after the show and many other supporting roles. The staff in your box office are often the first point of contact for a patron and hopefully ... not the last!

Speakers include: Aaron Curran, Sydney Opera House – Aus, Jeremy Dixon, THE EDGE® – NZ, David Eedle, founder ArtsHub – Aus, Beth Aplin, The Aplin Partnership – UK and more. See more at http://ticketingprofessionals.com.au/speakers.htm
