“ICC Sydney has a well-earned reputation for its talented people which are at the heart of its operations. In a year like no other, Helen has made an outstanding contribution to ICC Sydney and the wider industry which deserves the recognition of an EEAA Award for Excellence.”
Held last night, ICC Sydney was proud to host the national industry awards which celebrate the exceptional work of organisers, association organisers, venues and suppliers in the exhibition and events industry.
As a result of the impact of COVID-19 on the exhibitions and business events industry in 2020, the awards were run in a condensed format focusing on the people who have made a significant contribution to their company and the industry.
Delivered in a hybrid format with a seamless live broadcast, the complete event program featured the EEAA Annual General Meeting and election of the next EEAA Executive Committee alongside an invitation-only CEO Forum – each run in a hybrid format and seamlessly broadcast to a remote audience.
Sagripanti said, “I would like to thank the ICC Sydney for their partnership with the EEAA, enabling the Association to deliver its first Hybrid event line-up. The facilities are truly world-class, featuring cutting edge technology and an expert technical production, event delivery and marketing team who delivered first-class service throughout the lifecycle of these three very important for events.”
