MEAs successful seminar program at AEE
MEA was pleased to have the opportunity to co-operate with the SCVB on developing and managing twelve 1-hour seminars held over the 2 days of the Australian Events Expo.
A diverse range of topics attracted many meeting planners from the association, corporate and government sectors who had the opportunity to listen to experienced practitioners and MEA members on a variety of topics including awards programs, staging and lighting, destination selection, planning VIP programs, creating conference social programs and more.

Thanks also to Camille Valvo of Camille Valvo Emcee (and a member of the MEA NSW Branch Committee) who acted as MC for a number of the seminars and enlisted the assistance of fellow MCs Mariette Rups-Donnelly, Powerhouse Presentation and Carolyn Norman, WellSpeak Communications over the 2 days.
The seminar program and our booth at the show provided a great opportunity for MEA to promote our many programs including education and training, accreditation, recognition and our networking events around the country as well as encouraging new members to join our association.
