How exhibitions enable growth and recovery is the key theme for this year’s Global Exhibitions Day 02 June 2021.
This year’s event will be marked by the Exhibition and Event Association of Australasia (EEAA) with a hybrid seminar featuring high-profiled speakers and networking drinks.
Claudia Sagripanti, EEAA chief executive said that Australia has developed world’s best practice in hosting CovidSafe events and will share what it has learned from consumer and trade shows.
“Exhibitions and business events are key to rebuilding economies, and we will be aiming to highlight the sector’s capability to propel the economy forward particularly at this time. 
“We will be showcasing the power of exhibitions and why a focus on the work of the sector should be a top priority for business and governments in the current climate.
 
“Just before Covid, the business events sector contributed more than A$35 billion to GDP, ran over 430,000 events annually and employed more than 229,000 people. 
 
“The sector is a major contributor to Australia both financially and through its ability to expand marketplaces by bringing buyers and sellers together and offering a platform for launching innovation and new product,” said Sagripanti.
