Welcome Ceremony
Date: Saturday 17 March 2007
Time: 5.30 pm – 6.15 pm
Location: Bayside Auditorium, Sydney Convention & Exhibition Centre

Be a part of the official opening of the Congress & Exhibition and welcome the guest speaker, Mr John O’Neill AO. As Managing Director and Chief Executive of the Australian Rugby Union Ltd from 1995 to 2004, Mr O’Neill oversaw the ‘changing faces’ of the code from an amateur to a professional sport. In his current role of CEO of Football Federation Australia, Mr O’Neill has taken on the challenge of re-building Australia’s potentially biggest sport. Early 2007 will see Mr O’Neill finish up his contract and we can only wonder what changes will occur after this time…

The Welcome Ceremony will be immediately followed by drinks and canapés at the Welcome Reception.
