Evolve 2022 will take place in Melbourne on June 29 and 30, and has opened the show for registration.
Delivered by Meetings & Events Australia (MEA), the country’s association for meetings management professionals, and supported by major partners Melbourne Convention Bureau, Accor and EventsAIR, Evolve 2022 will feature an education programme and networking opportunities.
Attendees can expect a blend of plenary sessions and breakout streams across three pillars: Building Confidence, Best Practice, and Future Leaders. Speakers will hail from the events sector and other industries. Headlining the speaker list is former Disney head of innovation, Duncan Wardle.
MEA CEO Peter McDonald said the event would “refresh everyone’s minds about the value of our national community after a three-year hiatus of coming together face-to-face”.
He added: “MEA wants to lead by example and show the nation how it’s possible to gather safely for events and in large social groups. We’re hoping that Evolve will be the inspiration or impetus for other event holders to hit the ‘go’ button and drive the sector’s resurgence.”
Julia Swanson, CEO of MCB, said: “It’s time to reconnect and engage at business events – get the energy and magic of face-to-face interactions back again. With that front of mind, we look forward to seeing the events sector convene here in vibrant Melbourne at the live hub of Evolve 2022.”
