One of Australia’s most respected television journalists, Ray Martin, will host the inaugural MEA Leadership Breakfast, being held at 7am on 2 May 2017 at the Hyatt Regency in Sydney.
Ray will talk with John O’Sullivan, Managing Director, Tourism Australia and Margy Osmond, Chief Executive Officer at the Tourism & Transport Forum Australia about how Australia is performing internationally and how we can attract more business events.
Australia has recently seen a seven percent increase in the number of international business events secured, however nearly 300 events, worth $1 billion in delegate expenditure, went to other countries last year.
“That’s a lot of opportunity”, comments MEA’s CEO, Robyn Johnson.
"The global events marketplace is becoming more competitive and we need to develop strategies to overcome the disadvantage we face due to our geographic location and the costs to travel and stay in our destinations.
We're delighted Ray is hosting the inaugural MEA Leaders’ event and that he will be joined by our guest speakers who are well informed on Australia’s current position and what we need to do to compete worldwide in this lucrative marketplace”.
