MEA National Conference

Registrations for the ‘23rd MEA National Conference’ are now open.

MEA 2010 will be held in Melbourne, Vic from 17-20 April, 2010 at the Melbourne Convention Centre.  The theme for this year’s conference is, ‘Meetings Mean Business’; aimed at promoting the professionalism and significance of the meetings and events industry to the wider, corporate and government sectors.  As always, this year’s conference will provide a platform for networking and professional development and it is an important event on our industry’s calendar.

The Conference Program has now been released and can be view at MEA.  Highlights include the MEA Awards night on the Saturday evening and the inclusion of two international speakers; Rod Cameron (Canada) Director of AIPC and leading industry professional and futurist, Rohit Talwar (UK), CEO, Fast Future Research who has been named as one of the world’s ‘top ten global future thinkers’ by the UK’s Independent Newspaper (In my opinion the opportunity to hear Rohit speak could be the single most important reason to attend the conference). 

In addition to the Awards Night and Gala Dinner there is a round of social events to keep you busy, especially if you are keen to ‘work the room’ and get to know the ‘who’s who’ of the industry.  I am putting the casual night on the Monday evening into my diary.  The theme is High School Musical – Melbourne Style and it will be hosted at the Melbourne Museum.  There is also a varied professional development program with something for all levels of business.

To find out more, head to MEA and here to register.
