Our Profile

Who is Diversified? 

The short answer is that we are a vibrant exhibitions company, committed to creating truly exceptional events where people can meet face to face to do business.

The long answer is a story of entrepreneurial spirit and on-going success through dedication and hard work.

Diversified Exhibitions Australia was founded in 1982, under the name Australian Exhibitions Services (AES).  AES established a proud record of more than 400 successful events, each specifically created to provide visitors with unique and exciting experiences while generating quality sales leads and a great return on investment for exhibitors.

In 2000, Diversified was acquired by a US based company, Diversified Business Communications, and became part of a global exhibitions network.  Since then, Diversified has experienced unprecedented revenue and profitability increases, achieved through new show launches, event acquisitions and solid organic growth.

We're leaders of a big industry.  Every year in Australia, over 10,000 businesses promote themselves to more than 5 million people at 360 exhibitions.  That's a total economic impact of almost $2.3 billion!  For our part, we own and run more than 30 of the biggest industry-specific trade and consumer shows in Australia every year.

Diversified is currently located in St Kilda Road, Melbourne, employs 60 staff and operates throughout Australia.
