The banquet sponsored by DeSter Sponsored by deSter for over 130 guests was the culinary highlight of the event although all delegates and exhibitors were lucky to be able to sample the food produced by the region’s top chefs in the culinary competition at the lunches sponsored this year by Qantas.
