What are Perth’s advantages?
Western Australia has a temperate climate with the highest number of sunshine hours per day. Perth is a compact city with international hotels, the convention centre, Swan River, restaurants and nightlife all within easy walking distance. We also offer free public transport within the city.


What does the Perth Convention Bureau (PCB) offer organisers hosting groups from Asia?
The Lord Mayor welcome and reception is very popular with groups from Asia. We can also arrange for the Lord Mayor to appear in an incentive video presentation to encourage delegates to attend, or to welcome them on arrival as part of a package tailored to the organiser’s requests. PCB has also implemented a Destination Package.

Once a potential MICE event has been qualified, we contact our industry partners and then present the incentives and support offered in response. Our new Delegates Reward Programme provides organisers with different levels of funding for marketing their events.

What have been some recent bid wins?
We have just confirmed four large conferences for 2010: the 7th International Symposium on Digital Earth (1,100 delegates), the International Desalination Conference (900), the Asia Pacific Autism Conference (900) and the National Historical Machinery
AGM (1,450).
