At its recent AGM, the Exhibition and Event Association of Australasia (EEAA) elected a new Executive Committee and immediately outlined key strategies for leading Australia’s exhibition and event industry forward over the next 12 months.
Re-elected as President, Matthew Pearce, Managing Director, Diversified Exhibitions, laid the groundwork for his term in office by outlining the future direction of the peak industry association with the implementation of EEAA’s new marketing campaign, launching in June this year.
“In times of economic uncertainty, it’s more important than ever that we address the key issues impacting our members, but also the industry as a whole. With the newly elected committee and plans put in place for EEAA’s new marketing campaign, I’m confident that EEAA will continue to offer the support, guidance and motivation necessary for pushing our industry forward,” said Pearce.
