Ball
The Silver Disco Ball
There’s a lot that the Eighties have to answer for! Alan Bond and Christopher Skase led the excesses of the lavish 80’s lifestyle – party, party, party! We’re going back twenty-five years, just ahead of the recession we had yet to have.
Bon Jovi was ‘Livin’ on a Prayer’ when our Kylie kick started her career with ‘Loco-Motion’. The Bangles ‘Walked like an Egyptian’ and anyone who was there can still bust out that kinky-necked dance move. Michael Jackson went ‘Bad’ and Paul Lekakis was looking for a little ‘Boom Boom’ back in his room!
And if we weren’t there already, Pseudo Echo took us to ‘FunkyTown’. They were heady days!
And even though Disco was a 70’s phenomena that silver disco ball could still be found through the 80’s adorning venues from nightclubs and bars to wedding reception venues, RSL halls and bedrooms – so I’ve heard!
Well, it’s time for 80’s devotees to dust off the high-waisted acid wash jeans, pop in the shoulder pads, grow the mullet back and get down to Funkytown once more.
As Dynamic Growth Congress celebrates its 25th anniversary we’re dusting off the images of Warwick Capper and bringing the SILVER DISCO BALL back into play!
The DGC SILVER DISCO BALL is where the chiropractic community will connect at a social level: friendships will be enjoyed, new relationships will be formed and success will be celebrated! The theme, Silver Disco Ball, sets the dress standard. Come in themed fancy dress or if you’re unlikely to go to Funkytown come in cocktail dress or dinner suit.

Dynamic Growth Congress Exhibition
The Australian Spinal Research Foundation conducts Dynamic Growth Congress annually and Parker Seminars bi-annually and these are 2 of the largest gatherings of the Chiropractic community in the Southern Hemisphere.
 Having a stand at the exhibition associated with either or both of these events is one of the most effective ways to directly connect with and showcase products, services and seminars to the Australasian Chiropractic Community.
Whether you are a previous exhibitor or a potential exhibitor, a supplier to the chiropractic community or simply recognize the value and benefits of presenting your products and services to the lifestyle reflected by the chiropractic community, there are numerous reasons to seriously consider being an exhibitor in the events conducted by the Australian Spinal Research Foundation.
