I was proud to welcome more than 800 delegates to my home town of Brisbane for the 2010 World Lottery Association Convention and Trade Show (WLA2010). The Conference was a great success, our delegates from all parts of the world were delighted with the friendly, casual sophistication of Brisbane and the world class convention facilities at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre. And the expertise and experience of the Brisbane Marketing Convention Bureau team was indispensable in ensuring the smooth delivery of the whole event from conference concept to completion.
Brisbane offers a dynamic mix of globally connected business, ground breaking science and knowledge based industries, sustained by world class infrastructure, with Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre at the forefront of excellence in the meetings industry. The city’s al fresco lifestyle, easy connectivity and accessibility make it the ideal convention city.
Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre and Brisbane Marketing share a united and collaborative partnership to champion the cause, attributes and attractions of Brisbane and the Centre to conference organisers. The partnership strategy has developed into one of the most effective business partnerships in the competitive meetings market.
I hosted the 5th World Congress on Engineering Asset Management here at the Convention Centre in 2010. The event attracted over 330 delegates, of which about one third were internationals. The Brisbane Marketing Convention Bureau assisted us by providing us with flyers and brochures on how attractive Brisbane was as a destination for an international event such as this.
The city itself is a very accessible, walkable city, and in many cases, it compares with other international destinations.
By hosting the event, CIEAM has positioned itself and profiled itself as a hub for international R&D in the area of engineering asset management.
We’ve had some very successful conferences here at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre. It attracts delegates from all over Queensland, and when it comes to international speakers, they always want an excuse to come to Queensland. We’re working in partnership with Brisbane Marketing and Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre, to attract one of the international diabetes conferences here to Brisbane.
Brisbane Marketing is about assisting us in planning and executing our bid, but also looking at how we can support the delegates while they are here, with transport and different ideas to actually involve themselves with Brisbane.
