Business Events Adelaide takes to the IMEX America stage this week to showcase its success in securing major international business events to the city, highlighting its unique park-like environment, world-class venues and Team Adelaide flexibility.
For events that meet specific criteria and align with South Australia’s key strategic sectors – including biotech, health and medical research, defence, and space industries – Business Events Adelaide offers financial support to ensure the success of business events that contribute significantly to the state’s economy and knowledge exchange.
“We are proud of the recent successes we’ve achieved in securing international business events and corporate incentive events for Adelaide,” said Damien Kitto, CEO at the CVB. “Our presence at IMEX America is an opportunity to engage with organisers and demonstrate how Adelaide’s unique offerings can elevate any business event.”
“We proudly boast the largest biomedical precinct in the southern hemisphere within walking distance of the Adelaide Convention Centre,” Kitto added. “Additionally, Adelaide is a stronghold in the defence sector due to its strategic partnerships. Adelaide is an outstanding choice for a wide range of business events.”
Adelaide Convention Centre has, meanwhile, become the world’s first convention centre to achieve EarthCheck’s Master status – a 15-year commitment to best practice in business and environmental sustainability.
