Toni is responsible for producing the annual Queensland Tourism Awards and the Queensland Top Tourism Town Awards. Using her extensive experience within the tourism and aviation industry, Toni delivers key projects and exceptional tourism events for the Queensland Tourism Industry Council.
Previously, Toni has been responsible for the management of exceptional and logistically challenging events at Brisbane Airport since 1992.
During her extensive career Toni has worked with a long list of high-profile global airlines, industry organisations and government partners in the delivery of award winning launch campaigns designed to leverage important relationships and gain valuable international media coverage. Major highlights include event managing the Routes Asia 2018 Conference involving 1200+ global delegates, for which she won two international awards, and a world-class event for the 145th IATA Slot Conference on Brisbane’s new runway for more than 1000 people.
Notably, Toni devises strategies and themes that make each event truly unique through the thoughtful consideration of the values and aspirations of each partner and the skilful application of individual brand elements into the final production. Her superior negotiating and organisational skills has also helped her over-come the many complex restrictions of working in a sterile airport environment, to safely deliver above and beyond the expectations of partners.
Toni studied Event Management at University of Technology NSW and is currently working on the 2024 Queensland Tourism Awards which will be held at the brand new The Star Brisbane.
