Trevor McCartney Appointed GM of Oman Convention & Exhibition Centre

Trevor McCartney has been appointed General Manager of the Oman Convention & Exhibition Centre.

Mr McCartney was previously the Director of Business Development at the Qatar National Convention Centre, a role he has held since June 2011.

Before his appointment in Qatar, Mr. McCartney was Chief Executive at the Borneo Convention Centre Kuching, Malaysia for three years and Director of International Sales and Operations at the Pattaya Exhibition and Convention Hall, Thailand for a further three years. He has also been a key member of pre-opening teams at three major UK conference centres.

"Trevor is an outstanding and experienced convention centre executive who is well respected throughout the industry globally,” said Geoff Donaghy, the Director of Convention Centres for AEG Ogden which manages the venue on behalf of Omran. “In the past decade, he has developed a strong understanding of the local cultures and managing congress venues in Asia and the Middle East and is suitably qualified to meet the challenges in the highly competitive business events industry.”

The Oman Convention & Exhibition Centre is due for completion in December 2016 and Mr. McCartney will commence his new role in early 2014.
