Luxperience 2018 is fast approaching and to ensure it surpasses its already high standards Diversified Communications, owner of Luxperience, is pleased to announce two key staff appointments. Claire-Ann Leo is heading up marketing, and Tea Kezic is leading the sales team.

Claire-Ann has just joined Luxperience from the UK and brings with her an extensive international events background including most recently four years with Easyfairs UK and Global. Her aim for Luxperience is to highlight the numerous changes and improvements to the event such as the new concierge-style service, the revitalised networking events and the Education Program.

Award-winning Tea brings an impressive background in event management and client relations to Luxperience. For the last seven years Tea has been working at management level with Reed Exhibitions. Her focus for Luxperience is to ensure the benchmark of high-end suppliers and service providers meet the standards set by the globe's elite travel organisers during the pre-scheduled appointments.

'We are thrilled to have Claire-Ann and Tea join our team,' says Michelle Papas, Luxperience Event Director. 'Their tireless enthusiasm, passion and motivation are infectious. They each bring unique and comprehensive experience to their new roles which can only enhance and complement Luxperience team.'

'To also enhance the event we have introduced an Event Experience team led by Richard Sedin and includes Bronwyn Wilson (nee Towers) and Arnie Lautaimi all of whom have worked with Luxperience previously,' continues Papas. 'It will operate similar to a concierge style service with the team helping our clients to better understand the full potential of Luxperience as a liaison between all clients.'

Luxperience is moving to a new venue for 2018: the award-winning and state of the art venue International Convention Centre, Sydney, and is being held from 16-19 September. It is an invitation-only event dedicated to the high-end experiential travel sector and the only such event in the southern hemisphere.
