It was exciting to have our 2019 SIRF National Forum in Melbourne this year, at Bayview Eden, with
170 people attending from across Australia/NZ, USA and Israel. The event was more a celebration of
the SIRF network so thank you to the whole SIRF team who made the event run like clockwork. To everyone who presented, exhibited & attended, thank you for being part of a fantastic couple of days.

We were delighted to have keynote presentations from Nicholas Curtis (Global head of LEAN for Vistaprint), Tasha Broomhall (Mental Health & Wellbeing) and Steve Simpson (Corporate Culture
Change – UGR’s Unwritten Ground Rules). All outstanding presenters in their own right who did a magnificent job, thank you everyone! However, the biggest decision would be who we would get
to open up the forum for us. We really wanted to ensure attendees were set up for success with strategies about how to capture the most key takeaways possible.......
Enter Lynne Cazaly and her ‘Cognitive Load Coping’ keynote presentation.
She was awesome and this keynote presentation fitted perfectly with the brief, thank you Lynne!

To our trusted exhibitors, a huge thank you for agreeing to be part of our 2019 National Forum for without your support these events would likely not happen, we would love to see you again next year!

To the thirty five people who put themselves out there to present at our National Forum this year,
you absolutely did yourselves proud, with feedback scores revealing an average ‘subject expertise’
of 9.2 out of 10 and average ‘value of content presented’ 9.0 out of 10. Outstanding!
Here is a link to what presenters said about the forum post event.

To Ductmakers, Nissan Castings and Davey Water, thank you for backing up the forum with
site tours the day after. Fantastic to have these tours available at such great sites.

So there you have it, another great SIRF Roundtables forum is done and it’s time to pass the baton
over to Gary Silversides and his team for 2020. To potential keynotes, presenters and exhibitors;
let Gary know with an expression of interest.

Thank you everyone involved in this event.

Kind regards,
Jeff Naylor
