REGIONAL EVENTS
Warm weather and an even warmer welcome await business events in Brisbane
Give your business event some budget relief with a little help from the Brisbane Economic Development Agency ’ s Business Events team .
Brisbane EDA ’ s Business Events team is making it easier for event planners to get back in the game , deliver incredible experiences and help people meet face-to-face in Brisbane .
The team members have seen first-hand how damaging the past year has been on our closest friends across the industry , and they know getting more bang for your eventbudget-buck is vital . But it shouldn ’ t come at the expense of a less spectacular experience for event delegates .
So , for eligible business events held in Brisbane between March 2021 and December 2022 , a subvention package is available to help reduce event costs and upgrade your event program . Eligible events can take their delegate experience up a notch and give attendees a warm welcome Brisbanestyle , on us . Brisbane has a range of world-class venues for your business event , so why not select your ideal location and let us help you cover the cost ?
Need some inspiration ? Let us shout your delegates a welcome event with a private cruise on the Brisbane River . Why not have us cover the cost of a chartered river cruise aboard one of the iconic Kookaburra Showboat Cruises ’ stunning paddle steamers to soak up the Brisbane sights for your welcome reception ?
Teams have been separated for so long lately . Reunite them in the most adventurous of ways with a team-building session from Riverlife . You could kayak the mighty Brisbane River , abseil the Kangaroo Point Cliffs , cycle the reaches of the city , or get extreme with some outdoor laser tag . And we ’ ll pair them with a post-session drink at one of Riverlife ’ s breezy riverside marquees .
Of course , no city in Australia knows how to relax quite like Brisbane . And Howard Smith Wharves — in the shadow of the iconic Story Bridge — is the perfect place to kick back . Drinks , river breezes and a view like no other ? Let us pitch in to give your delegates the best of Brisbane ’ s experiences with a unique welcome reception or conference dinner at this favourite location , watching the city lights ripple over the Brisbane River .
Conferences and incentives over 200 people are eligible , and events must be booked by 30 June 2021 with a Brisbane venue . And with Brisbane ’ s range of new and freshly refurbished hotels and event venues , the choices are almost endless .
