Record Number of Submissions for The 2019 MEA Event Industry Awards
Meetings & Events Australia has received a record number of submissions for the 2019 MEA Awards – the much coveted and sought-after confirmation of experience and achievement for industry practitioners.
Award nominations closed with an 18 percent year-on-year increase in the number of entries.
Robyn Johnson, CEO of MEA, commented, “This is an outstanding response. We are delighted with the high number of submissions from across the country. This demonstrates the depth of talent and professionalism in the Australian industry and is a great endorsement of the value the industry has in the Awards program”.
“Judging of the submissions will now get underway with more than 70 national and international judges who have the task of reviewing and commenting on the outstanding work that the Australian event industry delivered in 2019“.
The prestigious Outstanding Contribution Award remains open until the 31 March 2020 and we encourage submissions that recognise the contribution an individual has made to the Australian events industry.
The state and territory MEA Award events will be held in March and April and are now open for bookings. The state and territory winners will be finalists in the 2019 MEA National Awards presented at Evolve 2020 on Tuesday 5 May at Crowne Plaza Hunter Valley.
