2023 dates set for the Executive PA & Event Organisers Summits

You ’ ll be glad to hear 2023 Executive PA and Event Organisers Summit dates have been set and applications are open for both suppliers and delegates . Summits provide a unique opportunity to meet suppliers on your terms and are a time efficient way to find out what ’ s new in events .
This year will see two Summit streams : One for EAs and one – the Event Organisers Summit – for in-house event managers , experience officers , event management companies , teambuilding companies , associations and marketing managers .
During the series of one-day events , you ’ ll enjoy tailored meetings , breakfast , lunch and post-event drinks , plus keynote speeches and intelligence briefings throughout the day .
Here ’ s what previous attendees had to say …
“ All the presenters were perfect and I loved the sense of humour everyone had . I ’ ve already passed on a few details , so they should expect to get business .”
Donna Flynn , administration officer , UNSWIT
“ The Summit was great . The number of attendees was comfortable and the agenda on time . I particularly liked the ‘ Five Minute Power Pitch ’ and roundtable presentations . I took away some personal tips and connected with a couple of the suppliers .”
Tracey Roberts , executive officer to CEO , president and chair , RSL NSW
“ What an amazing day ! It ran so smoothly and every part was so informative . I learned a lot and it was great to network and meet other EAs . I would love to be part of these events going forward .”
Patricia Letran , Data Addiction
Russell Peacock , Summit Organiser at Executive PA Media , believes professional event organisers are likely to be just as busy in 2023 as they were in the last half of 2022 : “ As international events slowly make their way back , domestic business event activity is going to continue to buzz . These events may be slightly smaller but there will be more of them and we ’ re going to see some very creative ideas used to maximise budget and engagement .”
He believes it will be the same for EAs pulling together business events for their bosses and organisations : “ Back in 2016 , independent research showed that EAs have average budgets of over a quarter of a million dollars . And every high-level assistant we ’ ve spoken with has said that rebuilding teams and focusing on employee re-engagement is high priority for their exec . Budgets for business events will increase this year – there ’ s no question about it .” S
