Office was a great success for APA, with hundreds of members flocking to meet Gareth Osborne, Director General, and a group of passionate members who volunteered their time to support the association by helping staff the stand. Everyone seemed to have a good time.
It was great to renew old acquaintances; especially APA Member Number 1 (Inta Batsman), and many of our recently appointed new members like Kelly McGill; who also helped out while she was there.
The show was generally thought to be good and Thursday was definitely more buoyant than last year but Friday was disappointing with significantly fewer attendees; some might suggest it was due, in part, to the excessively bouncy Planet Hollywood party on the first evening (and second morning for many).
APA would especially like to thank members - Ash O’Meara, Claire Howard, Joan May, Sam Herridge, Kelly McGill and Esther Burke for their time, god humour and outstanding enthusiasm in helping us promote APA.
Gareth Osborne said: “Despite launching our own PA Conference and Exhibition next year we will continue to support office*. We believe that Diversified, the organiser’s, took a brave step and invested heavily in the PA profession when they took on the challenge to hold a national show last year. I have great admiration for their innovative approach and APA will continue to support them; next year at its new location - Olympia.”
