🌏 Today on World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development, we’re reflecting on the power of global connection and shared understanding with a to Metropolis 2018 - a milestone event proudly managed by Arinex.

Metropolis 2018 brought together international migration and diversity leaders from across the globe to exchange ideas, challenge norms and celebrate the richness of our cultural differences. It was a moment that reminded us just how powerful dialogue can be in shaping inclusive, forward-thinking societies.

At Arinex - where we are also working towards meaningful reconciliation action via our Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) - we’re proud to help create spaces where diverse voices are heard, valued and amplified. 🌍💬

🌟 Celebrating Women in Events this 🌟

The events industry thrives on innovation, collaboration, and leadership — and women are making incredible strides in shaping its future. 💪✨

Did you know?
✅ Women make up 75% of the global events workforce, yet leadership roles are still catching up.
✅ Female representation in senior event management roles has increased by 20% in the past decade.
✅ More conferences are committing to gender-balanced speaker lineups, driving greater inclusivity and diverse perspectives.

From orchestrating large-scale conferences to redefining attendee experiences, women are at the forefront of creating meaningful and impactful events. With a 50+ year history of leadership by two incredible women - founder Roslyn McLeod and current CEO Nicole Walker - Arinex is proud to be part of this movement.

Something we thoroughly enjoy is seeing the looks of delight and adrenalin on people's faces when coming to shore after a high-octane jet boat ride in New Zealand 🚤

Body and Soul International capture perfectly why you want to add this to your group program itinerary - take a read below 👇 or speak to us today!

🚤 Jet Boating in New Zealand: The Fastest Way to Question Your Life Choices 💨

Hold on tight—literally. Jet boating in New Zealand is part scenic cruise, part “Are we sure this is legal?” and 100% adrenaline-fueled fun. Expect high speeds, near-miss canyon walls, and enough 360-degree spins to make your stomach reconsider breakfast.

Perfect for groups who love adventure (or just want to see their boss scream like never before). No skill required—just a strong grip and a sense of humour.

Ready to go full throttle? We’ll handle the details. You just hold on. 🚀

Well done to Sydney Showground on their new upgrades designed to make the venue more inclusive and accessible.

The upgrades include a quiet 'sensory' room for those needing a break from activity, an adult assisted change room with electric hoist and adult-sized change table, and an updated parent room. This will have a genuine impact for event attendees 👏

Today is International Day of People with Disability and an opportunity to talk about what we can all do to make events and workplaces entirely inclusive. While there has been great progress in recent times, we still have a long way to go;
🧑‍🦼 1 in 5 people worldwide live with some form of disability. Yet, just 1 in 4 of those with disabilities are employed
💼 70% of people with disabilities report discrimination in the workplace
☎️ Over 1 million Australians with disability are socially isolated, with limited access to community engagement, furthering their exclusion from society

Accessibility is not a mere afterthought – it is a fundamental right. Our communities will thrive, becoming more cohesive, inclusive, and effective, when we embrace people of all backgrounds and abilities.

We are proud to help bring these conversations to light with our many partnerships with advocate organisations, including AGOSCI - representing people with complex communications needs - Asia Pacific Autism Conference 2025, Virtual Disability Conference in September 2024 and more. These conferences are driving the narrative and laying the path to more inclusive societies across the world.
