Pesa Australia

An essential aspect of any PeSA Summit is the social networking function at the end of the first day (Thur 29 July)! For the past two years, some sellers have found this time the MOST valuable, as they get a chance to network and build long lasting relationships with other sellers.

Thank you to all that attended the Gala Dinner in 2010. Not only did you enjoy a great night of networking, you helped us raise $21,077 for the Alannah & Madeline Foundation!

This year, we’ve moved from a cocktail party to a 3 course dinner which was held at Flemington, starting at 6.15 directly after Summit.

• Almost 4 hours long
• Drinks and three course meal
• Stunning night views of Melbourne skyline
• Entertainment – pack some dancing shoes
• Charity Auction - 100% of proceeds to The Alannah & Madeline Foundation

Monies raised at the charity auction will go to The Alannah and Madeline Foundation, a national charity protecting children from violence and its devastating effects.

The Alannah and Madeline Foundation's Cybersafety and Wellbeing Initiative aims to make cybersafety a normal part of every young person's life by equipping them to use technologies in ways that protect them from the associated risks. 

The development of the initiative is informed by a number of cybersafety experts from across Australia.  The first major focus of the initiative is to help schools to create a cultural norm of smart, safe and responsible use of communications technologies.  

The fantastic fundraising result was achieved thanks to the generosity of the following donations:
