EEAA aiming to lift prole
EXHIBITION and Event
Associaon of Australia president
Domenic Genua says raising
the expo sector’s prole in the
markeng industry is a “major
challenge and one that the
Associaon has made a priority”.
Speaking to delegates during
a day-long program of meengs
and workshops which coincided
with the EEAA annual general
meeng at Sydney Royal Stables
last Thu, Genua said: “a strategic
reposioning of the sector is
what is needed.
“It can be done - that’s our
industry’s challenge,” he said.
A higher prole would ensure
that exhibions and their
associated events “can get a
bigger share of the markeng
spend,” Genua added.
The meeng also saw seven
appointments to the EEAA board
including Spiro Anemogiannis of
Informa Australia; Ma Pearce
from Diversied Communicaons;
Reed Exhibions’ Brian Thomas;
Richard Hogan of the Australian
Gi & Homewares Associaon;
Bob O’Keee of Brisbane
Convenon & Exhibion Centre;
Paul Ellio from Harry the
Hirer; and Jo-Anne Kelleway of
Info Salons - joining mid-term

BIA NSW & SA; Peter King,MCEC; Helen Mantellato of ICC
Sydney; Peter Thorpe, Sydney
