<p>Harcourts were the only real estate organisation to receive a Highly Commended mention in the finalists’ announcement for the awards which will be hosted by the Australian Centre for Event Management in early October.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.harcourts.com.au/Offices/190968/Harcourts-International-Ltd" target="_blank">Harcourts International Managing Director, Mike Green</a> is extremely proud of this achievement and believes that it is testament to the hard work and dedication of the company’s event management division.</p>
<p>“Harcourts events have always had an excellent reputation and it is fantastic that the quality and professionalism of our events has now been recognised at a national level,” said Mr Green.</p>
<p>“I am so proud of this achievement and of everyone involved in the management of our great events,” he continued.</p>
<p>The 2010 Harcourts Conference, which was held at Conrad Jupiters in Surfers Paradise in May this year, was truly one-of-a-kind with over 600 people from all across Australia in attendance.</p>
<p>Highlights included an inspirational speech from keynote speaker, Li Cunxin, author of best-selling autobiography Mao’s Last Dancer, and presentations from other high profile keynote speakers such as social media guru, Matthew Ferrarra and real estate figureheads, Ric de Luca and James Tostevin.</p>
<p>Mr Green is confident that Harcourts will continue to produce world-class events and may even take out an award at the next Australian Event Awards in 2011.</p>
<p>“I am confident that Harcourts will continue to excel in this area and will continue to produce many more exceptional events. I believe that Harcourts has a fantastic chance of being a finalist in the 2011 Australian Event Awards, so watch this space!” said Mr Green.</p>
