22nd MEA National Conference 2009
In 2009 we are expecting over 600 people to attend the MEA National Conference. Being the premier event in the Meetings & Events Industry, the MEA National Conference offers a range of opportunities to showcase your products or services to our industry in Australia as well as New Zealand; to network with industry peers; and to hear about the latest development in our industry in Australia as well as internationally.
The MEA National Conference program is going to be divided into three streams: Meeting and Event Organisers; Venues; and Service Providers (this includes: Convention & Visitor Bureaus; AV, Staging & Theming; Speaker & Entertainment, Merchandising & Promotion, Transport & Travel, and Exhibition Companies). This structure will ensure that all sectors of our membership are covered and all interests are catered for. Although the program is not yet finalised it will include the topics that you, our members, indicated as the most pressing and interesting to you. Without a doubt the conference will present fantastic opportunity for professional development & networking.
The MEA National Conference will not only educate and inspire but also showcase the 2009 destination, Adelaide, and what it has to offer to those wanting to hold their events in South Australia. As you know South Australia is famous for its delicious food and excellent wine so prepare your taste buds for three days of exceptional culinary experience. Needless to say the social program will entertain and delight all our delegates.
We are thrilled with the amount of the interest we have received regarding sponsorship opportunities at the MEA National Conference and look forward to working with next year’s conference sponsors some of whom have been MEA’s long term supporters. We would like to thank everyone who has confirmed their sponsorship of the conference so far and look forward to welcoming new sponsors on board.
The 2009 Sponsorship Document is available for your review. If you would like to discuss any sponsorship ideas or if you would like to find out more about exhibiting at the conference, please contact Anna Tartakovskaia at MEA on 02 9929 5400 or via email anna@mea.org.au.
