#WhenInRoma -- Meet with Aussie Beef Farmers & Present About Social Communications

When in Roma

I recently had the opportunity to travel to Roma, a small town in Australia's Outback in the state of Queensland. I went there with my client OBE Organic, who was hosting a #GrazingBMP Forum for organic beef producers. I spoke to beef producers about the importance of social communications, why it's important for companies like OBE, and how it impacts them. Here's a visual look at my trip to Roma; I look forward to getting out that way again.

When in Roma...

Cowgirl boots are a must!


Travel by plane as driving is likely to take way too long. By the looks of it, just about everyone here has their own private plane. Maybe not, but the Roma Airport sure had lots of small planes.


Set up at Roma's finest meetings space, The Explorers Convention & Function Centre.

Fuel up with another coffee, a flat white of course. So thankful my smart client, Dalene Wray, GM of OBE Organic, thought ahead and provided a mobile coffee truck. Roma's Cafe 54 coffee is first-class!
