At this year's Annual Conference, accompanied again by ExpoSmart, the industry's highly focused trade display, there will be an exploration of the latest developments and their impact on the exhibition industry internationally and in Australia and New Zealand.

Three streams, and new workshops, will provide opportunities for learning and development for all segments of the industry, with a dedicated exhibitor stream designed to provide knowledge to marketing and management professionals who use exhibitions to promote and sell their products.

New York branding and trade show specialist, Francis Freidman and international sponsorship expert, Kim Skildum-Reid are among the presenters.
