Pop this date into your diaries now. View the highlights video and the photo

gallery from the EEAA 2016 Leaders Forum.

Here's what some attendees had to say about last year's event:

“The Leaders Forum is a fabulous forum for all of the EEAA members to get

together on a C-level and discuss strategy and topics of importance - we don’t

often get that opportunity to sit down and work on our business, because quite

often we’re stuck working in it.” Jo-Anne Kelleway, Info Salons Group.

“The EEAA Leaders Forum has been a great day. It’s been an opportunity to

really engage and network with fellow colleagues, suppliers, and other key

stakeholders, but also find out what’s trending out there and what are some of

the challenges that the industry is facing, both from a national and international

scale." Marisa Uremovic, Museum Spaces.

Program details will be available soon.
