Thanks to the support of State Library Victoria and Showtime Event Group the PCOA will be holding this year’s networking event in Australia’s oldest public library and one of the first free libraries in the world.
PCOA president Barry Neame said “State Library Victoria will provide the perfect environment for attendees to network and exchange ideas in an historic setting and at the same time appreciate the newly revitalised event spaces being made available through this significant redevelopment.”
The PCO Association Networking event will be held on Monday 10 December 2018, welcoming over 450 MICE Industry influencers.
In alignment with the Library’s vision, Showtime Event Group will be looking to grow the hospitality offering to various event markets: including revitalising the current wedding offering, capitalising on the strong connection the group has to the MICE market, greater accessibility for the local corporate and community market, and rolling out the new approach to the way delegates conference and meet. Showtime Event Group is also a strategic partner of the Melbourne Convention Bureau, in line with their focus around the Business Events market.
“Showtime Event Group is committed to supporting Melbourne Convention Bureau’s mission to showcase Melbourne a leading global business events destination.
“Having worked with the Showtime Event Group for more than 5 years, we were thrilled to have recently welcomed them as a Strategic Partner, enabling us to put Melbourne’s best foot forward to our international clients when showcasing the venue and catering options on offer by Showtime Event Group.” Karen Bolinger, CEO Melbourne Convention Bureau.
Showtime Event Group rebranded in February of this year with the launch of an offsite catering arm, and the appointment as exclusive caterer and event partner to the Old Melbourne Gaol precinct in collaboration with the National Trust Victoria.
‘It’s been a very big 2018 for Showtime Event Group, but it’s something that has been planned for quite some time. We established a 10 year plan in 2012 to become the industries leader, and this an important step in the journey. As exciting as this is, we still have a lot more to roll out in the next few years. It’s a very exciting time to be part of the events industry in Melbourne’. Brad Dabbs, General Manager, Showtime Event Group.
