The Brisbane Marketing Convention Bureau exhibition has partnered with 10 co-exhibitors to showcase the city's business event credentials.
Brisbane Marketing CEO John Aitken said the Convention Bureau's attendance at AIME would remind business event organisers that Brisbane had successfully hosted the world's biggest business event in 2014.
“Successfully hosting the G20 Leaders Summit in 2014 enhanced Brisbane's reputation as a city capable of hosting major events to the highest international standards while meeting the most demanding of global expectations,” Mr Aitken said.
“The G20 furthered Brisbane's aim to be seen as a serious player in the Asia Pacific and one of the world's friendliest cities.
“The Leaders Summit also ensured Brisbane underlined its standing as a world-class business and major events destination worthy of consideration by event planners, no matter what kind of conference they have in mind.”
General Manager, Conventions and Business Events, Rob Nelson will attend AIME for the first time following his appointment to the Bureau in January.
“I am looking forward to meeting with delegates and speak about wonderful new accommodation, service and venue additions to our city,” Mr Nelson said.
“In 2014, we saw the world's first NEXT Hotel open its doors and Australia's first TRYP Hotel begin operations while Four Points by Sheraton joined Alpha Mosaic and the boutique Gambaro Hotel among the new offerings.
“We're also delighted to have Australia's first Capri by Fraser, which will be opening soon, and the New Inchcolm Hotel and Suites and another Australian-first, Hotel Jen, here with us at AIME.
“Looking further ahead there are also three new hotel and conference offerings due to be completed in 2017.
“These include the Howard Smith Wharves revitalisation project, with a five star boutique hotel comprising 150 rooms as well as a 1500 pax conference centre.
“Also due for completion in 2017 is the Pullman Ibis Conference Centre Brisbane Airport, which will include a conference and meeting centre for 300 and we're also very excited about the new Emporium Hotel South Bank.
“In 2016 Rydges will increase its Brisbane offering as part of the Brisbane Showgrounds Regeneration Project, right next to the Royal International Convention Centre.
“These new additions mean almost 900 rooms will be added to the city by 2017.
“With the proposed Queens Wharf entertainment and hotel precinct in the wings plus a new W Hotel on the cards in 2018, the sky's truly the limit for Brisbane.”
