The Organiser of Melbourne RSVP — one of Victoria’s leading corporate and special event tradeshow — has announced a date change for next year’s show.

Exhibitions & Trade Fairs has announced RSVP Melbourne 09 has been moved from March 25 and 26 to June 24 and 25 to avoid conflict with the Melbourne Grand Prix.

Exhibitions & Trade Fairs has assured the industry the date change will not impact the show experience and that show times, floor plans, stand locations and the venue (the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre) will remain unchanged.

Moving into its third year, RSVP is a medium for events planners to meet and do business with event producers, venue managers, caterers, florists, entertainers, AV experts, staging companies and other suppliers.

RSVP Melbourne 2008 attracted more than 3780 event planners from sectors as diverse as finance and legal, pharmaceutical, luxury goods, advertising, government, marketing and media.
