Mulpha Events Announces Leadership Transition and Exciting Future Ahead
1/16/2025
Mulpha Events today announced that General Manager Johan Hasser has resigned after 12 years of leading the world-renowned Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show (SCIBS) and a growing portfolio of major events.

Johan Hasser Under Johan’s leadership, SCIBS has become one of the most anticipated events on the global marine calendar.

“Johan has taken the Show to new heights, making it a key event in the marine industry worldwide,” said Patrick Lonergan, Head of Hotel, Hospitality and Leisure, Mulpha Australia. “His contribution extends far beyond SCIBS, with the Events division growing significantly under his guidance.”

Johan leaves the organisation after overseeing a record-breaking 2024 SCIBS, which attracted 335 exhibitors, 43,741 attendees, 767 boats, 102 product launches, and more than 2,500 marine products.

“I am immensely proud of what my team and I have achieved at Mulpha Events,” Johan said. “The growth of SCIBS and the addition of new events reflect our passion and commitment to excellence. I am confident Mulpha Events will continue to thrive.”

Looking ahead, Mulpha Events has an exciting 2025 calendar, including SCIBS in May, the Gold Coast Festival of Golf in conjunction with the Australian WPGA Championship in March, the newly acquired Australian Adventure Expo in March, and the event delivery of the Sydney International Boat Show in partnership with the Boating Industry Association.

“With a strong foundation and a growing portfolio, Mulpha Events is focused on creating exceptional experiences for attendees, exhibitors, and partners,” Patrick Lonergan said. “We thank Johan for his outstanding contribution and wish him well in his future endeavours.”

Corey Rattray-Wood Recruitment for a suitable replacement is underway, ensuring the right leader is secured to take Mulpha Events into its next phase of growth. In the interim, Senior Events Manager Corey Rattray-Wood, who has worked closely with Johan during his tenure, will lead the team.

“Corey has been a key part of our success and will ensure continuity as we prepare for an exciting year ahead,” Patrick added.

Mulpha Events remains committed to enhancing its reputation as a leader in world-class events, delivering innovation, excellence, and engagement across diverse industries.
