Why us
OUR HISTORY
Meetings & Events Australia (MEA) is a not-for-profit events industry association that can trace its roots to the formation of the Association of Conference Executives (ACE) in 1975, which occurred following a meeting of event professionals who shared a common interest in the conference industry.
Following years of independently state-run ACE branches, a single national association was finally formed on 1 July 1985 under the name Meetings Industry Association of Australia (MIAA), ensuring uniform membership categories and regular communication with members nationwide. MEA was one of the first industry associations with their own website for members.
In 2005, MIAA changed its trading name to Meetings & Events Australia. The new name embraced the broader industry and reflected the changing mix of members.
Today, MEA is operated by a small but dedicated team and has representation in each state and territory of Australia through the work of its volunteer-led branch committees. The future of MEA, and indeed the industry, looks brighter as it emerges from the lingering impact that COVID-19 has left. The Association looks forward to continuing to serve its members for many years to come.
