"We are dedicated to always giving our members what they need to succeed."

Leadership and professional development

The Association produces events throughout the year that allow members to meet and discuss issues and opportunities impacting the sector. They include headland annual events like the Conference and Leaders Forum, as well as seminars and workshops.

These member forums support the professional development of our members and build a stronger community in the exhibition and event sector. Attended by prominent business, industry and government leaders, these events provide our members with the opportunity to hear about the latest business trends and opinions, make valuable connections both within and outside the EEAA member community, and are forums for coaching our leaders and building competencies specific to our sector.

Insights from our forums help to set the agenda for the Association and inform the content of future events to ensure we are always giving our members what they need to succeed.
