Despite the challenges of the past 12 months, Expertise Events has successfully delivered 26 events throughout 2022 – the largest number of business events for any single events company in Australia. 

Having just wrapped Oz Comic-Con Christmas Edition in Melbourne, the family-owned business has celebrated the achievement with a commemorative booklet that acknowledges its team’s efforts in putting on such a large number of events.

The flip book features a commemorative presentation of every show the company has run this year, which Expertise Events managing director Gary Fitz-Roy said emphasises the four key values the team has learnt from the pandemic period:

1. Do not to take anything for granted
2. Celebrate the success when you can
3. Acknowledge and appreciate that the staff are the strength of any business, and your success is linked to them
4. Having partners who share the same vision and commitment to deliver means that, under all circumstances, together you can come through

“A whopping 26 events across Australia over nine months is an extraordinary result given the last two years and especially given we are a small independent Australian Family business,” Fitz-Roy said.

“I want to specifically say THANK YOU to our many loyal clients who supported us over the last few years in all kinds of ways. The pandemic saw the best and worst in people and we certainly appreciated the care expressed by our supporters.”

Expertise Events first event back for 2023 will be the first week of February, so the year will kick off with a bang and whilst some of the bi-annual shows won’t be running, they have already added a number of additional shows to the 2023 calendar.

The company has also finalised a sponsorship with Lifeline, and have also continued its membership of the Family Business Association of Australia.
