Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC) has released three new episodes of the Event Expert Docuseries, which showcases experts and creators of events working behind the scenes.
The latest episodes feature customer service manager David Howie, operations manager Anthea Fahey, and lighting specialist Matthew Dix.
As customer service manager, Howie ensures MCEC’s facilities and services are operating effectively for all events. Having worked at the organisation for over 20 years, he has a wealth of knowledge and his episode highlights some of the unique design details of venue.
Operations manager Fahey oversees events from bump-in to bump-out. Working across teams, contractors and clients, she creates and implements cohesive floor plans to deliver seamless events. She plays a crucial role in ensuring all events held at MCEC are safe, accessible and enjoyable for everyone.
Lighting specialist Dix illustrates the importance of collaboration to achieve a unified design. Part of his role is researching cutting-edge technology to keep MCEC at the forefront of the industry.
Earlier episodes feature event planner Maxine McIntyre, sustainability manager Samantha Ferrier, executive pastry chef Alessandro Bartesaghi, digital event manager Mark Higgins, and event delivery manager Amir Asady, who has since been promoted to operations manager.
MCEC’s head of marketing, Liz Kozmevski, said: “Through the series, we aim to inspire and educate our customers on how they can leverage our world-class facilities and expertise to create unforgettable experiences… We hope the series inspires others to host their events at MCEC and witness the magic for themselves.”
