MUSIC EDUCATORS EXPO 2016 Held: Sunday September 25 Venue: Thebarton Community Centre, Torrensville by Pete Barter feedback as to how we can make things bigger and better next year. It was very humbling and rewarding to see the response that we got from the community that we endeavour to serve – the music educators of South Australia. Birdseye view Wow! What an excellent inaugural Music Educators Expo. What an amazing event, everybody who was involved had a great time putting their expertise on show – not only the exhibitors, but also the volunteers.

We do recognise the problem with the audio in the room and know that the sound wasn’t working fully in our favour for the first portion of the event. We didn’t get to announce all about platinum sponsors from the stage as planned, so we apologise to those affected. We have already made plans to improve the audio at the next Expo, among other things. I personally would like to thank the Expo sub-committee team, Carly, Hayley, David and Sam. They all injected their skill into organising particular areas and keeping each other on track. Things work well when you work with a well rounded team.
There were a vast variety of products on display and also available for purchase at the Expo. We also think the venue itself was an amazing choice. Beautifully lit, nice and clean, with plenty of room to move around. Looking and talking
We are really excited to be bringing you further Expos in the future off the back of the success of the 2016 Music Educators Expo. I’ve had a personal word from one of our exhibitors that they did over one thousand dollars in sales during the day, which is great news! We learned a lot at the Expo and we really would love your

Now that our website is becoming more functional (it is still under development), I know that next year’s Expo will be much easier to manage for the exhibitors and guests who come and view areas of support that is available for music educators in South Australia.
