Cloncurry to host Queensland's event industry

Cloncurry has today been named host of this year's DestinationQ Events Conference, set to attract hundreds of delegates to Outback Queensland on August 6. The DestinationQ Events Conference is a free event aiming to support event organisers, local councils and tourism industry stakeholders to grow their events to provide even more value to the state’s tourism industry. The conference theme is ‘How our past shapes our future' and, in the Year of Outback Tourism, the conference will showcase the diversity of events held across the state.

Queensland has established a global reputation as a world-class event host after hosting blockbusters like the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games, exclusives like the World Science Festival, international business events and a diverse portfolio of destination events that showcase the Queensland lifestyle. TEQ's It's Live! in Queensland events calendar is expected to generate $800 million to the state's economy in 2019 and hosting this conference is a vital part of TEQ's strategy to build the industry’s capacity to host major and destination events that provide returns for the tourism industry.

Event organisers, local councils and tourism industry stakeholders are encouraged to register for the free event, to be held on Tuesday 6 August 2019 in 'Queensland's Friendliest Town', Cloncurry.
