‘Doing business among friends’ was evident throughout the event—from the engaging panel discussions and Skål Expo to the National Assembly and the Welcome and Gala functions. The fantastic locations, combined with our incredible Skålleagues, made for a truly enjoyable weekend.

We received great feedback from club presidents and representatives about the workshop approach during the Assembly’s afternoon session. The sharing of ideas and the passion displayed were inspiring and will undoubtedly benefit our club committees as we refocus on membership growth and representing the Skål brand.

As many clubs prepare for their membership drives, now is the perfect time to consider potential new members who will benefit from networking and growing their industry business and friendships. It’s not too late to take advantage of the promotion offering the remainder of 2024 and all of 2025 as part of their membership.

Events like the one in Cairns remind us of the importance of our Skålleagues and the diverse membership base we are part of. It’s a fantastic opportunity to reconnect with old friends and make new business connections.

With every event, the next host city promises even bigger and better experiences—and Broome is no exception. From what we’ve heard, they might just have a challenge managing the influx of Skålleagues expected to visit in March, so you better be quick to register once details are confirmed!

I truly hope to see you at the next event. Don’t miss out on experiencing what Skål is all about: ‘doing business among friends.’

Yours truly,

Taylor Spinks
