- 25 specialist Intensivists from hospitals in Australasia, an international standard anti terrorist incident response with six international trainers
- We arranged all the catering (in all the venues for all the volunteers) and trainers, venues (included getting permissions and road block offs arranged) ,logistics for transport, media coverage, transportations of volunteers, accommodation ,workshops, set-ups with special equipment, trainers travel accommodation and onsite support for the week of the training.
- We have arranged dinners for up to 800 in the Meridian shopping Centre (for the 2000 Dental Association Conference and the Rotary Club 2002).
- We have found solutions for speakers cancelling or not arriving when required due to situations beyond our control such as when SARs broke out and we had an international meeting involving large numbers from China and Asian countries who were unable to travel.
