Past event

Thank you for joining the EuroMix event!

The EuroMix was the highlight of the European Chambers in Adelaide's social calendar, and we were very proud to bring this fantastic event to the Adelaide Convention Centre this year.

The function was an evening of exquisite indulgence, celebrating fine food and wine. It provided an ideal opportunity to entertain corporate guests in a sumptuous yet relaxed, sociable environment, celebrating the friendship between countries from multicultural backgrounds such as Austria, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, The Netherlands, Spain, Slovenia, and Switzerland.

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the speakers and sponsors, including Adelaide Festival, Ziptrak and the University of Adelaide.

Zoe is the Minister for Tourism and Minister for Multicultural Affairs in the South Australian Malinauskas Labor Government.
As Minister for Tourism, Zoe’s main focus is to build South Australia’s visitor economy back following the pandemic, grow our tourism industry across every region and market our wonderful State to the world.
As Minister for Multicultural Affairs Zoe is focused on creating an environment that embraces diversity. She works very closely with the many vibrant established and new, emerging cultures and people who call South Australia home.
Zoe was elected to the South Australian Parliament as the Member for Ramsay in 2012. She has a longstanding interest in education, training, and business investment. Participation in the economy for all South Australians is a key driver for her interest in politics.
She first became a Minister in 2014 and worked on progressing the South Australian Government’s reform agenda on ageing, multicultural affairs, social housing, and youth. During this time, she made energy bills cheaper for concession-holders, introduced the Cost-of-Living Concession, tripled the budget for multicultural affairs and gave people living in Retirement Villages a stronger voice.
Born in Whyalla, Zoe lived in Gawler and Kapunda where she attended Kapunda High School. She has a Bachelor of Arts from Flinders University and a Master of Business Administration from the University of Adelaide. Prior to her election, Zoe worked for an iconic Australian tourism operator and was a director of a public affairs company.
Zoe now lives in Salisbury with her husband and son.
