Barry Plant Kickstart Conference 2011
TNT- Today, Not Tomorrow.
These were the words that forged the direction at the annual Barry Plant Kickstart Conference at the MCG on Monday.
Visual Domain were lucky enough to be a part of this fantastic event that motivates the Barry Plant team for the year, offering ideas, advice and fantastic networking opportunities.
There was also a trade show on throughout the day where Barry Plant suppliers display their products and answered any questions the agents may have. It was a great opportunity to chat with members of the Barry Plant group and discuss video- what we do, how we do it, and why we do it.
As Visual Domain were filming the event in its entirety, we were lucky enough to hear a couple of the guest speakers and enjoy the delicious and entertaining dinner.
Tom O’Toole, of Beechworth Bakery fame, was one the speakers and he was extremely interesting to listen to. He certainly livens up proceedings with his eccentric and compelling style, conveying tips and advice in an ‘easy-to-understand’ way. If you ever have the chance to hear from Tom O’Toole, don’t miss it!

The property management team were taught how to get the most out of home decorating- with a touch of feng shui! While most people know a few ‘basics’- like buying a home at a T-intersection is not the best move, this detailed analysis will surely bring the team a bit more luck (not that they really need it, though).
Learning the tricks of the trades
During dinner, the hilarious Brad Blaze provided the entertainment. You may remember the name from the national program ‘Australia’s Got Talent’, but he has certainly come a long way since then. With ‘tap-your-toe’ music playing, Blaze throws paint at a canvas and then somehow, he turns the canvas, and it’s a portrait with an exact likeness to the subject. The paintings were then auctioned off to raise some much some much-needed money for the Victorian Flood Appeal.

The entire day was an outstanding success, and the head office team should be very proud of themselves. When the video is completed, we’ll be sure to post it here!
