Frank Mohren Joins AEG Ogden

 Convention and exhibition industry veteran Frank Mohren is joining AEG Ogden in a venue development role.

Mr Mohren recently left the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre after 15 years as its Director of Operations and where he oversaw development of the A$ 350m convention centre expansion which opened in July 2009.

 Mr Mohren will be involved primarily in assisting with the establishment and start up of the group’s new convention centre projects and therefore his designation will tend to vary from project to project.

“We are currently expanding the number of facilities we have under management across the Asia Pacific region so Frank’s extensive experience in opening and operating major venues and hotels, both in Australia and internationally, makes him a very welcome addition to our specialist management team” said AEG Ogden CEO, Mr Harvey Lister.

Mr Mohren’s initial assignment will be with the AEG Ogden managed Qatar National Convention Centre currently under construction in Doha and due for completion in the second half of 2011.

With this assignment, Mr Mohren will have an interim role as Assistant General Manager while the company goes through a restructure involving the recruitment of a new GM, Director of Operations, Building Services Manager and the balance of the senior executive team.

AEG Ogden manages venues throughout the Asia Pacific region, including Sydney’s Acer Arena, the Brisbane Entertainment Centre and the Newcastle Entertainment Centre, and the Perth Arena (currently under construction); the Brisbane, Cairns, Darwin and Kuala Lumpur Convention Centres, the Qatar National Convention Centre (currently under construction), Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane and live theatres including Perth’s His Majesty’s Theatre and the Perth Concert Hall.
