Julius Grafton, CEO of Juliusmedia, said: "I am delighted that Entech is now owned by one of the leading trade show organizers in Australia - ETF. I am further excited that Australia's most prominent and successful media company has backed the acquisition. The decision to sell arose following an approach by ETF, with whom we've been friendly for some years."
Louise Brooks has joined ETF as Entech show manager, working under the direction of ETF event director Rodney Cox, and will continue to manage advertising sales for CX Magazine from the ETF office. This provides a seamless transition for all clients of Entech and CX Magazine as all existing relationships and systems are retained, say the company.
CX Magazine will remain the official show publication for Entech. Juliusmedia is committed to the bi-monthly publication with the March/April edition the largest yet. CX has set new circulation records and attained critical acclaim since its launch just 12 months ago. Juliusmedia will also shortly announce the opening date of its new entertainment technology college at Rydalmere.
Entech 2004 will be held at the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre from Monday 5 to Wednesday 7 April. The event includes the major trade exhibition for the entertainment technology industry and a comprehensive seminar programme. Details and free registration for the exhibition at the website below.
