NT Major Events Company looks to fill Board vacancies

The Board of the Northern Territory’s biggest events’ organiser, Northern Territory Major Events Company (NTMEC) is looking for people with varied skills and experience to fill vacancies, which have become available due to a number of reasons, including retirement and moves interstate.

NTMEC delivers the Territory’s largest events, attracting thousands of people to the NT. This supports local jobs and businesses and strengthens the economy. Independent research shows just six events delivered by NTMEC in 2021-2022 generated 276,239 visitor nights and an economic benefit of $70.6 million for the Northern Territory.

As well as delivering major events, NTMEC also helps grow industry capability through the Event Funding Program, with around 70 events supported each year.

NT Minister for Major Events, Paul Kirby notes “Major events are one of the most exciting aspects of Territory life and one of our biggest drawcards for tourists. NTMEC needs people who can help guide them as they continue to evolve and build on the successes of the past few years.

“Their Board is a valuable mix of experience and skills, and members are appointed for an initial term of four years. It’s a lively, professional team and if you’re enthusiastic, and experienced in a range of areas, including leadership, event management, tourism, finance, risk, strategy and governance, this is an opportunity you don’t want to miss.”
