Meetings & Events Australia (MEA) has launched the 2022 MEA Mentor Program, thanks to the support of Tourism Australia.

The 2022 program will connect event professionals across the country to share and enhance skills, expertise and career progression prospects.

Mentees will be matched with industry stalwart mentors who’ll provide valuable counsel and learning opportunities over a three month period.

The program is designed to assist the industry’s up and comers growth as event professionals, with an online hosted platform again being used this year to ensure a high level of interaction, tracking and valuable resources is provided for participants.

“Since its inception, the Program has supported the progress of many members’ career journeys,” Peter McDonald, CEO of MEA said.

“Participation has been an experience equally highly valued by both mentees and mentors. In a time when our industry finds itself facing unprecedented challenge, the true value of this program will come to the fore through its provision of a continuum via which experience and knowledge are shared with the industry’s next-generation leaders by its current champions.”

Eligibility to participate as a mentee is restricted to MEA members (either corporate or individual).

Events sector professionals interested in being either a mentee or mentor should email an expression of interest to MEA via cwatson@mea.org.au before Monday 21 March 2022.

The program will run from April 2022 to June 2022.
