A record-breaking 56 decision makers from fields ranging from childcare and fitness, to medical and construction, have descended for the latest This is Gold Coast Business Exchange to tour the city's unique venues and meet specialist suppliers.
Each year, conferences, exhibitions and trade shows inject more than $565 million annually into the local economy. As an added boost, the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games will leave a legacy of prestige sites suitable for hosting thousands of delegates from around the world.
“Every part of This is Gold Coast Business Exchange is designed to deliver the Gold Coast wow factor and leave no doubt that we're the best choice for business events in Australia,” says Anna Case, director of Gold Coast Business Events.
“Seeing first-hand the venues, sampling our cuisine and seeing our specialist suppliers create world-class events leaves meeting planners with the ideas and connections to create an unforgettable event.”
The 2017 This is Gold Coast Business Exchange is Commonwealth Games themed, and will include a performance and speech by Olympic gymnast Brennon Dowrick at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre on Friday.
Delegates will meet with representatives from 50 venues, from the city's new sporting arenas to its top-end hotels, as well as specialist suppliers at the trade show until Saturday 27 May.
This is Gold Coast Business Exchange is expected to generate more than $18 million in leads for future conferences and meetings in the city.
