Adelaide Convention Bureau

#1 Post by Wayno » Tue Aug 02, 2011 10:47 am

figure this is the best place for this thread.

I found this website ==> http://www.adelaideconvention.com.au. At first glance i thought it related solely to the Nth Terrace Convention Centre, but their agenda is broader.

Also found this youtube video showing a delegation through the Barossa, Glenelg, TDU, Central Markets, KI, etc.

More details below.
Who is the Adelaide Convention Bureau?

The Adelaide Convention Bureau is the official organisation responsible for promoting Adelaide and South Australia as a national and international business meeting and conference destination. The Adelaide Convention Bureau is a partnership between the State Government and private enterprise.

We help attract business tourism to Adelaide, South Australia

Our goal is to improve business tourism for Adelaide, attracting national and international business events to the city. Recent international and national conventions either hosted or scheduled for the future include:
  • • International Surgical Week 2009 - 1400 Delegates
    • Asia Pacific Airline Route Development Forum 2010 - 450 Delegates
    • Asia Pacific Conference on Sustainable Energy and Environmental Technology 2011 - 200 Delegates

As a result of our efforts, millions of dollars are injected into the South Australian economy each year.

Destination South Australia 2011 attracts MICE buyers

Adelaide’s showcase for business events and incentive travel, Destination South Australia (DSA) will be hosted and organised by the Adelaide Convention Bureau between August 2-6 2011.

Incentives Adelaide Brochure.

DSA is South Australia's only tradeshow for the MICE industry.

DSA, an annual event is responsible for bringing tens of millions of dollars into SA each year as a result of the one on one meetings and touring schedule undertaken by the invited event and incentive buyers and planners (from interstate and overseas) - the 2010 event realised around $41m income for the state.

The Bureau has announced that the 2011 event will be the most extensive ever, with an increased international delegation from Asia and New Zealand.

DSA 2011 will be a great platform for regional exhibitors with regional familiarisation tours to be hosted for invited guests

Activities for Destination SA guests will include a series of regional familiarisation tours to the famous Barossa Valley, Kangaroo Island, The Adelaide Hills, McLaren Vale regions and the CBD where they will experience the very best food, wine, activities and accommodation SA has to offer.

A major part of the event will be based around an exhibition and a series of personalised appointments with local businesses and organisations who may in turn benefit from the future business bought into the state. A record number of local businesses are set to participate in this exhibition and networking opportunity.

Significant points of interest for visiting buyers this year will include the exciting developments surrounding the Adelaide Convention Centre and Adelaide Oval, and the launch of the Incentives Adelaide program. The latter is projected to stimulate great interest in unique regional experiences.

The anticipated event's social calendar will have the invited guests attend a welcome reception in the Mortlock Chamber at the State Library and a closing gala dinner at the Adelaide Oval Function Centre

During the five day event, the Adelaide Convention Bureau will offer interested South Australian based event organisers a membership opportunity or a chance to learn about the free one stop shop service offered to event organisers.

Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.

I would say we do not have enough hotels to cater for an additional 3000 people for a week in 2014 on top of normal tourism. Some of the proposed hotel developments better pull their fingers out and get on with it.
