Sydney Fair Moves to Melbourne

The annual Search Associates Australasia Fair is set to take place in Melbourne next year it has been announced.

The move to Melbourne heralds a new era for the Fair, which is organized by the Search Associates “Down Under” team of Nick and Paula Kendell, and which, until now, has been held in Sydney.

The Fair, which takes place January 4-6th 2013, will be held at the Langham Hotel in Southgate, a 5 minute stroll from the city centre.

Nick, Senior Associate for Australia and New Zealand, said:

“The move to the wonderful city of Melbourne and being able to secure such an excellent venue and location for the Fair represents a very exciting development, although it’s important to stress that the event itself will continue to be the fantastic and friendly Fair that we know our candidates and schools appreciate.”
More than 200 candidates and some 50 schools from South East Asia, the Middle East, Europe and Africa are expected to attend the Melbourne Fair, which the Search Associates team believes will be the ideal ratio for a successful event for candidates and schools alike.
