Dicker Data TechX event named NSW Exhibition of the Year

Dicker Data’s TechX event was named NSW Exhibition of the Year at the Meeting and Events Australia (MEA) Awards, which aim to recognise excellence in the events industry.

The TechX event now goes through to be judged for National Exhibition of the Year which will be announced in early June.

“Our team are honoured to see TechX named the NSW Exhibition of the Year by Meetings and Events Australia,” Dicker Data general manager, marketing and strategy, Australia and New Zealand Ben Johnson said.

“The Creative Hire team have been by our side since 2015 and have played a strategic role in helping us innovate and deliver a world-class experience for our sponsors and partner attendees year after year,” Johnson said.

“This award is well-deserved recognition of the hard work, passion and energy that each and every member of the Dicker Data and Creative Hire teams pour into making TechX one of our industry’s flagship events,” he concluded.
