ASSOCIATION RESOURCE GUIDE 2019
Leatitia van Straten Chairperson, The Association of African Exhibition Organisers (AAXO) Since its launch in 2016, AAXO has grown exponentially. Not only do we host ground-breaking networking events, but we also provide opportunities for world-class training and knowledgesharing within our membership base and the extended industry. AAXO is focused on a commitment to provide exceptionally high standards to our members and to formalise and standardise the industry. We are continuously engaging with our members to encourage best-practice strategies, develop partnerships, and lobby government to help us increase our membership. AAXO aims to be an association with integrity, and members are required to have their shows ABC-approved prior to becoming an AAXO-approved organiser, supplier or venue. AAXO also undertakes industry research on behalf of our members to ascertain the value of exhibitions on our economy and the contribution towards our GDP, travel and tourism. As an association, we understand the importance of the compilation of information of the various industry players promoting their services to the broader market, locally and globally. AAXO fully endorses and supports the 2019 Annual Resource Guide, compiled and presented by Business Events Africa.
Greg McManus Chairperson, Event Greening Forum (EGF) The Event Greening Forum (EGF) is a non-profit organisation that promotes sustainable business practices within the South African events industry, in a manner where the triple bottom line of environmental, social and economic concerns are all addressed. For those companies who want to begin or advance their sustainable journey, the EGF encourages you to join our community by becoming a member. We also offer event greening training, host educational and networking events, and are a valuable resource of information and best practice case studies. We have created Minimum Standards for Sustainable Events, and are in the process of creating Green Events certification. To make event greening easier, we launched the Green Database last year (www.greendatabase.co.za). The South African companies on this directory not only offer products and services suited to the events industry, but are endeavouring to become more sustainable. The EGF works closely with a number of professional industry bodies, namely: AAXO, EXSA, Fedhasa, IFEA Africa, MICE Academy, SAACI, SATSA, SA Roadies, and TPSA powered by SACIA. We also have a strong partnership with the South Africa National Convention Bureau.

Rudi van der Vyver Chief executive officer, Southern African Association for the Conference Industry (SAACI) SAACI is the recognised professional association and umbrella body of the Business Events Industry in Southern Africa.

Peter-John Mitrovich President of Site Southern Africa Founded in 1973, SITE is comprised of 2 000+ members and 29 local chapters. Our members are incentive travel professionals who know from experience that incentive travel works. It works to reward, retain and motivate employees.

Trade associations make up the backbone of the business events sector. As Business Events Africa, we work in partnership with all the trade associations. Being a member of an association is vital, and being an active member is what it’s all about. You get out what you put in. In today’s competitive world, trade associations can give you the competitive edge, but more so they offer you and your company validation. Clients also have some recourse if there is a problem. Besides the great network of people you will meet, your association will work to assist you and be your mouthpiece on different forums and various government platforms. I am a proud member of all the trade associations in this Resource Guide and have, over the years, grown my network, made great business contacts and friends and continue to grow my knowledge base. What are you waiting for?
