The Exhibition and Event Association of Australasia (EEAA) and its Members will mark the inaugural Global Exhibitions Day (#GED16) through a series of special events.

Just over two weeks away, the event will see EEAA bring the exhibition community together for the Annual General Meeting of the Association and will also be holding its popular Leaders Forum with the most senior industry leaders and stakeholders.

EEAA chief executive, Joyce DiMascio, said there was no better way to amplify the voice of the exhibition and event sector than to have two of the Association’s most important annual gatherings coinciding with Global Exhibitions Day.

“Global Exhibitions Day is an important day to raise awareness about the Power of Exhibitions – there is no better time to spread this message than when there is record investment in infrastructure and venues by Government around the country,” DiMascio said.

The activities that EEAA and its Members have planned we will be part of the global effort to spread the message about our impact on trade, investment and the economy.

“The main event in our two-day Global Exhibitions Day Program is the EEAA 2016 Leaders Forum. We have a strong program designed to highlight new business opportunities, help enhance show security and mitigate risk, and take Australian exhibitions and events into the future,” DiMascio added.

New Chief Executive of the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ACCI), James Pearson; will share the EEAA stage with Jonathan O’Dea, Parliamentary Secretary, Trade and Investment – Major Events and Tourism; Theo Psychogios, Partner, Deloitte Access Economics; and Paul Beeson, Chief Executive Officer, Perth Convention Bureau.

Other presenters will include Craig Sheridan, retired Commissioned Police Officer, NSW Police Force; Michael Park, Partner, Norton Rose Fulbright Australia; Penny Burke, Director, Essence Communications; and Gillian Minervini, Director, gill minervini creative.
