From 2010-2012 I ran live events in Australia, then from 2013-2014 ran live events in The Netherlands. Now the Professional Parents Network is an online network – visit the welcome page for details on how to get involved. I have kept the information below on past events in Australia as an archive.
The first Professional Parents event was held in Brisbane, Australia on the 8th March 2010. Through until early 2012, regular events were held in both Brisbane and on the Sunshine Coast, Australia. Below I have kept a list of blog post summaries on many of the events, along with some useful tips and tricks on topics relevant to Professional Parents.
In mid 2012, I relocated to The Netherlands, and put more focus on the online side of Professional Parents – interviewing a number of people around the world on balancing work and family and launching the Professional Parents Directory.
In Brisbane, Ngaire from Brisbane Kids and Kelly from Be A Fun Mum continued holding events, first under the Professional Parents banner, then rebranded as Good Conversations. This is no longer operating.
On the Sunshine Coast, Marina and Bec continued to hold events, still under the Professional Parents name. These are no longer operating.
Below are links to blog posts of past events.
