Wanted: GM for Oman Convention & Exhibition Centre in Muscat

AEG Ogden has commenced the recruitment process for a General Manager of the Oman Convention & Exhibition Centre in Muscat, scheduled to open in 2016.

AEG Ogden Group Director, Convention Centres, Geoff Donaghy, said, “This is a unique opportunity to oversee a pre-opening team in a ‘greenfield’ destination. The Oman Convention & Exhibition Centre offers both a rewarding and challenging experience and the opportunity to work with a number of internationally credentialed professionals.”

The centre in Muscat is the company’s seventh convention and exhibition centre in the Middle East and Asia Pacific region.

“The beauty and diversity of the Sultanate of Oman has not only gained strong interest from international organisations to host future congresses and exhibitions at the centre, but has also attracted strong interest in career opportunities on a global scale,” Mr. Donaghy said.

The Oman & Convention Exhibition Centre is being built in two phases with the 22,000 sqm of Exhibition Halls completed in 2015 and auditorium, banquet halls and meeting rooms scheduled for completion in late 2016.

Carillion Alawi has been appointed as the contractor to build the Exhibition Halls, three-storey carpark and Energy Centre.
