AUSTRALIA - Announcing the launch of the inaugural Perth Event Show for 6-7 May 2011, the Perth Convention Bureau (PCB) MD, Christine McLean, said the Western Australian business tourism industry had “matured to the point when it can sustain an annual trade show”.
The two-day exhibition, to be held at the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre, is organised by CMS Events. Company MD Richard Campbell is a life member of the PCB and the bureau will be a major sponsor for the event.
“The industry has now come of age,” said McLean, who underlined the PCB was keen to provide a forum where the industry could meet with buyers to update them on what Perth and Western Australia had to offer as a business events destination.
“We have been looking at some form of event for the past couple of years and I am pleased all the pieces of the jigsaw have fallen into place to enable us to mount an annual trade show,” she added.
“There is certainly a lot of industry support for this event and over the next few weeks we will be announcing additional partners as we grow the components and presentation areas for the show,” said Campbell who stressed the event would be marketed extensively throughout Australia.
