Tips and Tipples, Showcase & Educational Events
Damian Mather, our Industry Development Coordinator (damian@southerntasmania.com.au), manages these events.
Throughout the year, we connect members with discounted training sessions, networking and a Showcase hosted by DST and/or our partners.
These educational workshops and events are focused on building better businesses and align with the main principles of the state-wide visitor economy strategy.
Tips and Tipples are our monthly networking events that generally include a guest speaker on a topic relevant to the tourism industry and are hosted at one of our member venues.

Our Marketing Coordinator Darren Wright (darren@southerntasmania.com.au) is based here in the south of the State and is available to share his expertise and advice if and when required.
If you have any media-worthy stories, we can also help with any future media releases and their distribution to local media channels.
