Adam Lister

Events Coordinator, AEG Ogden

Bachelor of Business (Human Resources) and Graduate Certificate in Business Administration recipient Adam Lister works with major sporting teams, performers and promoters and is involved in the planning and delivery of some of Brisbanes largest events.

AEG Ogden is one of the largest venue and events businesses in the world with 65 venues affiliated with the company including arenas, stadiums and entertainment centres throughout the world.

As an events coordinator based at Suncorp Stadium, Adam has staged nine games of the 2003 Rugby Union World Cup, two Robbie Williams concerts and Bledisloe Cup and State of Origin games at Suncorp Stadium.

It is a great feeling to watch a game or listen to a concert for a short period knowing that you were involved from the beginning through the planning phase and seeing it successfully implemented, says Adam.

The hands-on approach to learning meant that I was able put the theory into practice in a workplace environment. Also, the smaller classes meant that I had more face-to-face time with the lecturers.

I was able to use my university course to get a strong foothold in the venue management industry. Overall, it is a very good springboard into where I want to go.

Adam plans to move within the company to the highest levels and travel to venues in Europe and the Middle East.
