    • "Australian Wearable Art Festival has the vision to become Australia’s premier wearable art event held on the Sunshine Coast. It is a collection of 40 national and international artists and designers showcasing wearable artwork on a 25-metre catwalk. Bryn worked with us after our second show this year, to focus on how to develop a sustainable and financially viable event. Having worked with Bryn through his previous roles at Sunshine Coast Council we were aware that he had a wealth of events experience, but his solid advice and unique perspective for our event was a game-changer! His business acumen and ability to quickly address our key risks, means that we now are looking confidently into next year’s event"
