The topics were interesting and the speakers were really engaging. I will definitely be signing up for the next one.“.

Testimonials
Here’s what the VMA community had to say about PD Workshops in 2023:
“I enjoyed the workshop and the speakers presented well; providing information on important topics while keeping them engaging. I will definitely be interested in attending further VMA workshops!” – Jaxon Gibb, Perth PD Workshop
“The session with Scott Taylor was really interesting. I have a Masters degree in Event Organisation and it is the first time I have received training in security. I think this very important that event managers receive this kind of training to be more vigilant during their events, to have a better understanding of the security staff’s constraints and requirements and to work better as a team with them.” –Elodie Auvary, Canberra PD Workshop
“All speakers were very informative and it’s great they’re always willing to talk and give advice to everyone.” – Brendan Coull, Melbourne PD Workshop
