It is indeed my pleasure to invite you and your colleagues to the 23rd annual Meetings & Events Australia Conference. 2010 promises to be a significant milestone in MEA's history with a record number of attendees expected at the world-recognised Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre.

The local host committee, the program committee from around Australia and our very generous sponsors are working tirelessly to ensure that this conference fulfils your educational and networking needs.

On behalf of the Local Host Committee, it is with pleasure that I invite you and your colleagues to join us at the 23rd Annual MEA National Conference to be held from 17–20 April 2010 in Melbourne.

The theme for the conference is “Meetings Mean Business” and is intended to solidify the professionalism and significance of the meetings and events industry and promote this to a wider corporate, government and association community.  Meetings and Events are necessary and what better place to ‘Meet’ than in Melbourne.
