Australia is known internationally as an excellent business events destination, where they prepare with the use of decoration such as table and chair covers to make these events more professional. Not only do the venues go out of their way to cater to all the needs of those putting on the conferences, but they themselves offer many luxurious amenities to make the stay of the attendees delightful.
Successful business events provide speakers who give high-quality information to take back to the workplaces as well as an opportunity to network with peers and international buyers from around the world that will promote the individual enterprises. Delegates also learn the latest developments in products and services from the industry exhibitors.
In addition, when those delegates have free hours from convention programs, the cities have beautiful and historic attractions to enjoy, gorgeous scenery, and tempting activities.
What are several of the cities that are major conference preferences with examples of upcoming conferences together with places with memorable experiences to explore on time off?
BRISBANE
Aged Care Performance Survey Briefing
Monday, October 24, 2016
8:30 AM – 10:30 AM
The Pullman Hotel, Norfolk Room, Brisbane
This FREE briefing on the results of the full-year survey is a powerful tool as more than 180 participating providers identify industry trends, assist in improving financial performance as well as discuss accommodation pricing and the effects of consumer directed care. It will contribute and demonstrate helpful data for managers of approximately 800 residential care facilities and 400 home care programs. Light refreshments, coffee, and tea will be provided. Everyone is welcome, but register early because seats are limited.
Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary
What could be more fun than viewing, petting, and feeding koalas, kangaroos, and wallabies? Add to that seeing other unique well-cared-for Australian animals, a koala show, a bird show, a sheep dog round-up demonstration, informative talks, and activities for visitors of all ages. This is only a short drive into the western suburbs and is an oasis from the city.
PORT MACQUARIE
With multiple daily flights directly from Brisbane and Sydney, Port Macquarie is located on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales amid spectacular beaches, winding rivers, and mountains. It has Australia's most temperate climate and is home to luxurious resort facilities, new conference venue and organisers that makes it the ideal destination for business conferences.
Bago Vineyards and Maze
Only a short drive from Port Macquarie in Wauchope, Bago Vineyards’ Cellar Door and Bago Maze are open seven days a week from 9.30 AM to 5:00 PM. Sample a range of sparkling fortified and varietal wines with a plate of local cheeses. Lose yourself in the pathways of the Maze as you seek out the treasures hidden deep inside. Browse the selection of locally-produced sauces, jams, and honeys. If you happen to be there on the second Sunday of the month, experience Jazz Day, which has been a fixture for more than 13 years.
