Welcome to Zi Mei Events

Zi Mei Events is a Brisbane based Events Management business. One of our objectives is to provide quality, evidence-based professional development events to professionals including those employed in the allied health and education sectors.

Celebrating 10 Years


It is with somewhat amazement that this “good idea” for running a workshop and inviting other OTs to come along, has morphed into a business (and continues to run 10 years on).  It has been such a wonderful journey, having made some amazing friendships with presenters and therapists/ workshop participants, as well as a whole host of people behind the scenes that have assisted me with providing high quality workshops that run smoothly … printers, couriers, caters, venue staff etc. I am very thankful for the positive feedback and support I have gained over the years, and for the ongoing relationships with the therapists that have returned to participate in various workshops.

I have been reflecting on some of the amazing statistics that have been achieved over the years (apologies if I have forgotten anything, as these are just off the top of my head):

  • 3 cities – from local workshops in Brisbane, we have expanded to Sydney and  Melbourne (with the ultimate goal being to facilitate that workshop at the Eiffel Tower)
  • 8 venues – learning quickly which venues have the best catering and support
  • 17 presenters – all of them amazing, as clinicians, teachers and sharers of their knowledge and skills
  • 25 workshop topics –  from handwriting, anxiety, toileting, coaching to speech sounds, Autism and anxiety
  • 48+ workshops and more than 3000 workshop participants.

Workshops 

There are still a few places available at our upcoming Brisbane DCD/Dyspraxia – What is the Occupational Therapy Role workshop. I am also pleased to announce that the registrations are open for two of our upcoming workshops – Executive Function in School-aged Children with Learning Difficulties (Sydney – July) and Addressing rest and sleep in Children from an Occupational Perspective (Brisbane – September).

We have also received sufficient expressions of interest to proceed with further planning for the following workshops, hopefully we will have some further information soon:

We have also been exploring the re-running of the successful Behavioral Toileting workshop with an additional day for more complex interventions – Learning to Conquer the Wees & Poos – the basics and beyond. It would be great to get any feedback about this workshop idea.
