2008 Schedule of Events   Official Opening and key note address by Raymond Garrand CEO, Department of Trade & Economic Development   Master of Ceremonies Rohan Watts   We wish to thank Rohan, The Master of Ceremonies for the 2008 Regional Prosperity Conference. He truly was a valuable and memorable part of the whole atmosphere and spectacular day that was RPC 2008. His impromptu performance to a packed crowd whilst waiting for our Afternoon Keynote Speaker was one to be remembered. One active audience member’s feedback was that the ‘MC’s humour and improvisation' was one of things they really liked about the event. So again thank you to Rohan and we wish him all the best with his leading role in the upcoming musical ‘The Wedding Singer’ which will be showing at the Shedley Theatre shortly. .
