EEAA UFI CONGRESS

THE Exhibition and Event Association of Australasia (EEAA) has joined close to 500 participants from around the world at the 84th UFI Global Congress in Johannesburg, South Africa, last week.

Australia was represented at the event by EEAA chief exec Joyce DiMascio and board members Jo-Anne Kelleway and Helen Mantellato.

DiMascio said there was a tremendous opportunity to position the Australasian events sector as an agile, competitive and enterprising market.

“We can play an important role connecting our Members with the insights shared and relationships created through this face-to-face exchange.”

The conference addressed major industry issues like digitisation, security, skills and labour, safety, as well as demographic and economic changes in the world.
