Do you thrive in fast-paced environments, love the buzz of live events, and enjoy being the person who keeps everything running smoothly?

The Australian Gift & Homewares Association (AGHA) is looking for an enthusiastic and detail-oriented Events Coordinator to join our team. You’ll play a hands-on role supporting the delivery of Australia’s premier trade fairs — including the Sydney and Melbourne Gift Fairs — as well as member activations, networking events, and industry programs.

About the Role
As Events Coordinator, you’ll be the engine room of our events team, providing vital administration and coordination across all aspects of planning and delivery. From liaising with exhibitors and suppliers, to managing exhibitor manuals, floor plans, and event activations, you’ll ensure every detail is in place to create seamless and professional events.

Working closely with our Senior Events team, you’ll also contribute to marketing, membership, AGHA Academy sessions, and surveys — gaining exposure to all sides of event operations and association management.

What You’ll Do

  • Attend AGHA Events
  • Coordinate logistics, administration, and reporting for AGHA events.
  • Liaise with exhibitors, suppliers, venues, and contractors to ensure smooth operations.
  • Support event activations such as the Kitchen Zone, Pitch Tank, New Product Showcase, and AGHA Awards.
  • Manage exhibitor lists, contracts, manuals, and the online information hub.
  • Provide responsive and professional support to AGHA members and exhibitors.
  • Assist with marketing activities, membership support, and AGHA Academy programming.
  • Ensure compliance with OH&S and AGHA policies at all events.

About You
We’re looking for someone who is:

  • Organised, proactive, and able to juggle multiple deadlines.
  • Skilled in administration with strong attention to detail.
  • Confident with exhibitors, suppliers, and stakeholders, delivering excellent customer service.
  • A team player with strong interpersonal and communication skills.
  • Enthusiastic about events and eager to develop within the industry.
  • Experience in events, exhibitions, or association environments will be highly regarded, but a positive, solutions-focused mindset is just as important.

Why Join AGHA?
The Australian Gift & Homewares Association (AGHA) is the leading industry body representing suppliers and retailers across the gift and homewares sector. Our events are the heartbeat of the industry, bringing thousands of businesses together each year.

  • Be part of delivering Australia’s most iconic trade fairs.
  • Gain end-to-end exposure across exhibitions, activations, and member programs.
  • Work with a collaborative team passionate about creating outstanding events.
  • Enjoy variety, responsibility, and the chance to grow your career in the events sector.
