Last month our CEO Kylie Carlson jetted off to Dubai to meet our lovely students, and network with our industry partners both long-standing and new. It was a non-stop schedule of fabulous events, interviews and conferences and boy was it a great trip! Kylie was invited to be part of the expert speaker panel at the Exotic Wedding Planning Conference, and it was here she had the absolute pleasure of interviewing one of our Aussie Advisory Board members, the lovely Cathrin D’Entremont.
