Robyn Johnson, CEO of MEA says, “We are pleased to be announce the state and territory MEA Awards events so far in advance and encourage the members and their guests to attend the events to support their local Awards Program. We are hoping that MEA will break the 2017 submission record and invite the membership to review the Award categories and submit an Award to profile their events, their key personnel and their companies.”
The MEA Awards are the Australian event industry’s peak Awards program that has recognised excellence for more than 30 years.
Submitting an Award application helps MEA members to review business practices and revisit and reflect on past achievements. In addition, entering the Awards demonstrates to staff, stakeholders and clients that their organisation is committed to the pursuit of excellence.
Tickets to attend the state and territory Awards will go on sale in the coming weeks.
