According to Conference Convenor Greg Freeman “The events industry as a whole has taken a huge hit as a result of the COVID 19 Pandemic. Live events are extremely important to the economy and events like the Coffs Harbour Waste Conference will play its role in bringing the industry players back together in person and online so we can continue to lead Australia in the waste management and resource recovery industry”.

“There is so much goodwill and optimism in our industry that we need to harness and forge ahead for the development of Australian society more broadly”.

“We are very excited to have the Waste 2021 Conference and Trade Exhibition recognised by the Australian Business Events Program, which enables our business participants to offset some of their costs of attendance and we encourage them to submit an application to assist in funding their participation”.
