For more than 15 years, Linda Tillman and the team at Tilma Group, have been working with regional and rural communities to grow and develop their tourism and events economy. In 2019, Tilma Group launched sister company - rEVENTS Academy to provide an online training hub where regional and rural event committees can share information, learn and upskill, cross promote, collaborate, support one another and have some fun.
