The 2006 AALARA Conference brochure should have arrived on your doorstep this week.

I have great pleasure in personally inviting you to participate in 'The Business of Having Fun', an informative and entertaining industry conference.

The conference is designed to update and educate owners and operators with the latest and greatest in our industry from Australia and around the world.

To complement the conference program, VISA International Srl, Lockers.com and Atomiq Pty Ltd are some of the companies showcasing their products and services at this year's exhibitor showcase lounges.

In addition to discussing and strategising the direction of the industry, the setting up of industry sub-committees for Indoor Play and Go-Karting is a main objective at the 2006 conference.

We will also review and discuss the draft Australian Standard for indoor play, an important opportunity for owners and operators of indoor play centres to have a voice in the standard which will govern their business.

The conference is an important educational and networking opportunity, in addition to being loads of fun and we encourage all operators to attend.
