Shaun Mitchell, Director of Events & Customer Services takes up the role of 2IC to General Manager Kym Guesdon, taking on additional responsibility for managing and optimising usage of the Centre’s space, business mix, and levels of business.

BCEC Director of Sales Alison Gardiner will step into the expanded role of Director of Sales, Strategy & Partnerships as part of BCEC’s Growth Strategy, aimed at escalating the progress of Brisbane’s Business Events sector.

BCEC General Manager, Kym Guesdon said the expanded roles ensure the Centre will be well placed to leverage and maximise the opportunities of Brisbane’s status as an Olympic host city, in attracting events from around the world and creating a lasting legacy.

“Strong collaboration is critical, with State Government, our universities and business, all united in a common goal. The combined focus of 2032 and beyond, will be a key accelerator in our future achievements. Utilising the depth of experience, skills, and collective knowledge we have in our leadership team makes absolute sense,” Kym Guesdon said.
