Thanks to the Canberra Region Tourism Industry Council and Threesides Marketing, along with major sponsor VisitCanberra, for being able to pivot so quickly during the constantly changing Covid 19 situation so we were all still able to celebrate, even if virtually. It was great to see Canberra showcased in the pre-recorded live stream, a method we used for AITCAP, making it more accessible for everyone to attend.
