Through his own company, Zammit Presents, Zammit has been consulting to the Australian Chamber Orchestra and a number of Australian entertainment and arts organisations over the last few years. Representing the majority of Australian music bodies and festivals including ARIA, APRA, Stereosonic,
Soundwave, Splendour in the Grass and Big Day Out, where he served as CEO facilitating the sale of the festival to Live Nation, Zammit brings outstanding experience to the role.
“Adam’s combination of major event leadership and commercial partnerships experience and success is the balance we need for an event of global importance and scale like Sydney WorldPride 2023, and we are looking forward to working with him as he takes our exciting, multi-year Partnerships Prospectus to market.” concluded Wickett.
Commenting on his new position Zammit said he was delighted to accept the opportunity and lead the Partnership and Revenue team towards achieving positive and long-term outcomes for WorldPride, in close collaboration with Mardi Gras.
Zammit said: “I am extremely proud and excited to be joining Sydney WorldPride, and look forward to working with this wonderful team for an event of such global importance. This is a time when equality and diversity in our community is the backbone of a dynamic, evolved and better world for us all.
“Sydney WorldPride 2023 will be an event to celebrate all the incredible LGBTIQ+ global communities as they come together alongside our partners highlighting the inclusionary leadership and social and cultural importance of an international festival of this nature”.
Zammit will also work in close collaboration and partnership with Mardi Gras, ensuring not only the commercial partnership success of Sydney WorldPride 2023 but also the Sydney Mardi Gras events in 2022 and 2024; the three events forming the core of the multi-year Partnership Prospectus offering.
Mardi Gras CEO Albert Kruger said: “Sydney WorldPride’s new office on Oxford Street is filling up with an incredible team to produce spectacular WorldPride events for 2023. Mardi Gras and WorldPride are working closely together to create a diverse, inclusive and vibrant festival on an unprecedented scale for our city and communities in 2023. Adam is an exciting new addition to the team who will help us achieve this goal.”
