EEAA anticipates 'exciting' 2016

The Exhibition and Event Association of Australasia (EEAA) is looking forward to an exciting year ahead for exhibitions and events.

The Association has highlighted the 2016 Federal election, national construction projects including Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre and Adelaide Convention Centre, and the opening of the International Convention Centre Sydney in December as some of the key milestones ahead.

EEAA Chief Executive Joyce DiMascio explained "we have a lot to look forward to this year as the value of exhibitions and events to economic development, trade and export, employment, visitation and knowledge sharing becomes more widely recognised.

“There has been more infrastructure investment to support exhibitions and events, the overall Australian economy is healthy and the Association’s new partnership with the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ACCI) will help to position our sector within a highly influential industry network in the lead-up to the 2016 Federal election.”

EEAA will kick off its 2016 program in Melbourne next month at the Asia-Pacific Incentives and Meetings Expo (AIME).

In a session to be held on the show floor for the first time, DiMascio will present a series of case studies highlighting the innovation, best practice and marketing success of EEAA Members which contribute to the $23.1 billion that Australia’s Business Events Sector generates for the Australian economy.
