2010 again saw the ACUMA Incorporated Conference joining the Tertiary Access Group Trade Fair and Conference and the Australasian Association of Campus Activities Conference.
Timed to run in close association with the Australian University Sport UniGames, the annual Conference is the premier campus services event in the Southern hemisphere, and offers networking and professional development for decision-makers in all non-academic aspects of the university and higher education student experience in both Australia and New Zealand.
ACUMA Incorporated, AACA and TAG special interest group sessions ran across the three days of the event, with the TAG Trade Fair showcasing market-specific products and services.
The 2010 ACUMA Awards for Excellence in Campus Service were also presented at the event dinner evening, as were the TAG Strategic Partner Awards and the AACA Awards for Best Activity / Event and Outstanding Contribution. The dinner evening, as always, provided an opportunity for sponsors and supporters to engage directly with the decision-makers in campus operations, student activities and retail and food & beverage supply at a national level.
In addition to the main conference sessions, both formal and social, the AACA National Campus Band Competition final took place at the closing ceremony of the Australian University Sports UniGames, which took place in Perth during the final events phase of the competition between September 26 and October 1, 2010.
