BESydney newsletter
This month we have teamed up with Tourism New South Wales (NSW) to launch a nine-month campaign that will showcase the amazing venues, accommodation and attractions on offer outside Sydney's CBD.
We'll be reminding event planners that their next conference could be by the ocean, sequestered in the mountains or overlooking the vineyards... and they'll still have all the professional services and facilities they've come to expect in the city.
Back by the harbour, we are looking forward to the joint exhibitions of ABEE (the Australian Business Events Expo) and RSVP Sydney at the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre in Darling Harbour on Wednesday 22 July and Thursday 23 July.
These two events are highlights in the event planning calendar. By joining together, they double the benefits to both delegates and exhibitors. BESydney will showcase Sydney at both events, so be sure to visit us at Stand C20 at ABEE and A16 at RSVP.
Kind regards,
The AccessNSW team
Access all areas
Darling Harbour showed off the substance behind its good looks when the AccessNSW team paid a visit to the Novotel and Grand Mercure recently.
AccessNSW Manager Lillian Dew said versatility was the word of the day. The Novotel is located right next to the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre (SCEC), making it the ideal location for delegates to SCEC's big events.
Julie Anderson was charged with the task of finding a suitable venue for their convention. "AccessNSW found a number of venues for us in accordance with the specifications we provided," she said. "It made our task considerably easier, since our office is not in Sydney.
Theme and décor can make or break a big gala event. Professional event coordinators, marketing managers and PR professionals are constantly on the lookout for creative, innovative new event ideas to win new business.
SCEC hosts dynamic duo: ABEE and RSVP
Two of the biggest exhibitions in the business events calendar, ABEE and RSVP Sydney, are on next week.
