EEAA Creates More Opportunites to Support the Careers of Talented Young People in Events
5/16/2019
The Exhibition and Event Association of Australasia (EEAA) announced a special EEAA 2019 Conference registration discount for young people working in the exhibitions and events industry at its launch event for the Young Stars Meet-up Series. EEAA Chief Executive, Joyce DiMascio said the Association was committed to providing new opportunities for young people working in events to be able to attend the Association’s key events. “Our goal is to bring talented young professionals, who will lead the future of the industry, into mainstream discussions and knowledge-sharing both on and off stage,” Ms DiMascio said. “We have created a focus session at our EEAA Leaders Forum at which a panel of young leaders will discuss the future of the industry – we are committed to giving emerging young leaders of the industry a voice and our Leaders Forum and Conference are ideal opportunities.” 
The special incentive rate was announced to attendees at the new EEAA Young Stars Meetup Series, launched at the new offices of Informa Australia. The sell-out event attracted around 60 people from the events industry including venues, organisers and a diverse range of suppliers to the events industry. The new Meetup event was produced by the EEAA Young Stars Committee and was designed to create new styles of learning and networking opportunities. Winner of the inaugural Tourism Australia Scholarship, Georgie Chapman Burgess gave a talk about her experience of attending the Global Association for the Exhibition Industry’s (UFI) Asia-Pacific Conference in Tokyo in March. “The more opportunities we create for emerging leaders – the stronger their voices can be. Our industry can only benefit from hearing from our most talented young professionals – and I’m very pleased our Association is in a position to create so many opportunities.” Ms DiMascio said. Under 30’s who take advantage of this special discount rate will hear from two of the most influential industry figures on the international business events circuit - Margaret Ma Connolly, CEO of Informa Asia and Stephanie Selesnick, President of International Trade Information, who are both giving keynotes and hosting clinics at the 2019 Leaders Forum and Conference in Melbourne on 5 and 6 June. “Ms Connolly and Ms Selesnick will both be addressing their commitment to talent development and we would like to ensure our young members have access to interact with these powerful industry figures. “We are hope the 25% discount will reduce the price barrier to participation and encourage their employers to invest in ensuring worthy employees can attend.” Ms DiMascio said. The EEAA 2019 Leaders Forum and Conference includes an outstanding line-up of presenters from within and outside the industry. Addressing this year’s key themes, sustainability, careers and talent acquisition and retention, the program will combine a mix of presentations, panel discussions and deep-dive clinics addressing practical and important learning opportunities for attendees. Speakers confirmed to join the EEAA across the two days include:
The EEAA Leaders Forum and Conference will coincide with Global Exhibitions Day (#GED19), the worldwide campaign that promotes the importance of the exhibition and events industry. The program will be held over two days in Melbourne, 5-6 June 2019 and consists of five major events:
The Exhibition and Event Association of Australasia (EEAA) is the peak industry Association representing Organisers, Association Organisers, Venues and Suppliers within the exhibition and event sector. EEAA has been recognised internationally for its industry advocacy by the Global Association of the Exhibition Industry (UFI) and Exhibition World Magazine who awarded the EEAA the Global Exhibitions Day #GED Industry Impact Award in both 2018 and 2017. The work of the Association and its Members is a testament to the Power of Exhibitions as a driver of the economy and in particular economic development, trade and export, employment, visitation and knowledge sharing. The EY study, The Value of Business Events to Australia, shows there are 2,157 exhibitions staged in Australia, attracting 9.3 million visitors and over 65,000 exhibitors. The total direct expenditure from exhibitions was $3.1 billion and these events contributed direct value add of $1.5 billion and generated over 21,000 full time equivalent jobs. A not-for-profit organisation, EEAA works to ensure industry growth by encouraging high industry standards, promoting the professionalism of EEAA Members and highlighting the unique business opportunities that exist through exhibitions.
