MAGIC NIGHT AT MANTRA AWARDS

THE red carpet was rolled out as the best of the best travelled from around the world for Mantra Group’s night of nights.

More than 250 people from Australia, Singapore, Hawaii, Bali and New Zealand attended the Mantra Group Awards for Excellence at Mantra on Salt Beach, Kingscliff.

The awards capped off a two-day conference focused on “unlocking your potential”.

Among the conference’s keynote speakers were ultramarathon bushfire victim and former model turned motivational speaker Turia Pitt and Gold Coast Commonwealth Games Organising Committee chairman Peter Beattie.

This is the second year in a row this conference has been held locally, with last year’s taking place in Surfers Paradise.

A Mantra Group spokeswoman said the conference was “a great success”.
