At the Victoria Parliamentary Inquiry into Support for the Tourism and Events Sectors, we presented a plan for the Event Industry and told the real, raw story of our industry.

In summary we are recommending:
1. That the Victorian government recognises the Event Industry as a real industry. As an important industry to Victoria, and to Victoria's future.
2. That the Victorian government finally understands and values the real contributions that our events make to Victoria. And, that they value the extraordinary skills, talents and resources of the event industry - as they should be getting used during this crisis.
3. That the Victorian government sets up a dedicated agency - Events Victoria - to support, develop and promote Victoria's event industry. Including, as an export industry. An agency that has people who understand the event industry and are committed to working with us and supporting us.
4. That the Victorian government provides some real financial support for the event companies, event suppliers and the freelancers and contractors so they can survive until later in the year when events start picking up again properly.
5. That the Victorian and Federal government work together to get Covid cancel insurance underwritten by government so many events can start happening again.
