Winning the bid to host a conference, event or business meeting in Sydney is lucrative and rewarding for both your association’s or organisation’s local branch and Sydney as a whole. But it requires time, effort, professional knowledge and teamwork across a number of industries and organisations.
To give you a better idea of how we've helped partners win bids to host conferences, business meetings and events in Sydney, here are a few examples:
Sydney won the right to host the 2013 World Conference on Lung Cancer in 2008 following almost eight years of campaigning by Business Events Sydney (BESydney). This achievement for Sydney demonstrated that a united industry, government and stakeholder approach could and would pay dividends.
Sydney hosted the International AIDS Society (IAS) Conference on HIV Pathogenesis, Treatment and Prevention in 2007, four years after BESydney won the bid. More than 6,500 people from 150 countries participated in the four-day conference, more than double the original estimate, making it Sydney’s biggest business event of the year and injecting AU$14.6 million into the local economy.
In March 2007, for the first time in history, hand surgeons and hand therapists met at the same time. More than 2,000 participants came to Sydney for the five-day conference at the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre, which included more than 750 live scientific presentations, poster sessions and a trade exhibition of more than 40 stands.
