The new event supersedes the SCVB's longrunning
trade show, Sydney on Sale.
SCVB managing director Jon Hutchison said:
"This will be the only national events exhibition
based in Sydney so it's a very exciting development for our industry."
Interstate convention and visitor bureaux have
already indicated their support for the new expo,
while major industry players are also enthusiastic
about the concept.
He said: "Our new show will build on the industry
recognition that Sydney on Sale has achieved over
the past 17 years, but will attract a wider audience."
The Australian Events Expo will feature a strong
contingent of interstate exhibitors, broadening its
appeal for Sydney-based visitors as well as interstate attendees.
Hutchison said: "The show will also offer a more
extensive hosted-buyer programme and more prescheduled appointments in order to deliver greater benefits to exhibitors."
