read moreAs part of its strategy responding to the ongoing COVID-19 lockdowns and pathway to recovery, the Exhibition and Event Association of Australasia is delivering an important program of events for Q4 2021.
EEAA Chief Executive, Claudia Sagripanti advises “In these turbulent times due to the pandemic, the EEAA recognises the critical importance of remaining connected with our members and the broader business events community. The series of free-of-charge Expert Power Sessions has been incredibly successful in attracting a large audience of business event professionals from around the country.
“In addition, the EEAA has recently hosted the return of the Special Interest Groups, focusing on the specific needs of Organisers/Association and Suppliers. A separate SIG discussing operational capability is in planning, and we are in the process of setting up a separate group focused on Skills and Training. These open and constructive discussions have generated a number of recommendations which will be included in the next iteration of its 2021-2022 strategy, the industry preparedness plan and reflected in the requests for Government support.”
The EEAA roadmap to recovery includes:
EEAA President, Spiro Anemogiannis adds “The Events and Exhibitions industry drives a huge amount of business not just for the event organisers and venues, but for the businesses exhibiting and selling at the shows, through to all the associated businesses in the supply chain, whether that is caterers, sign-writers, security, stand-builders, staging and rigging - the list goes on. We have been prosecuting the case for whole-of-industry support. Finally, the vital role of the Business Events sector in driving visitation to the CBD and regional centres and supporting economic activity is being recognised as a result of the EEAA’s lobbying and advocacy.”
