The Exhibition and Event Association of Australasia’s (EEAA) has honoured its top members in the annual Awards for Excellence.
Held at Myer Mural Hall Melbourne on 4 December 2019, the awards saw sixty finalists selected for the 15 categories, with the most outstanding shows, venues, suppliers, teams and individuals taking out the top gongs.
Chair of judges John Trevillian thanked this year’s 29 judges, nine of which were international to ensure the judging standard was informed by a global perspective.
“Each category was judged by three independent judges,” he said.
“We thank them all for their expertise and commitment to the industry.
“I continue to be impressed with the calibre of talent that is developing in this industry and commend all the entrants along with the EEAA for running this program.”
