About us
Business Events Perth (formerly known as Perth Convention Bureau) has been helping not-for-profit associations, corporations and agents bring their conferences and incentive groups to Western Australia for nearly 50 years.
Our charter is to market, in conjunction with local organisations, Western Australia nationally and internationally as a destination for conventions, exhibitions and incentive travel groups. We want you to hold your conference in WA and we can help you do so.
Business Events Perth’s bank of in-house expertise and industry knowledge ensures that a meeting, incentive or exhibition planner will have access to current market intelligence, local support and assistance to help bring an event to Western Australia.
We know what our great State has to offer and we know what you need to stage a successful event. So, let us help you make your next conference the huge success you want it to be.
Who we are
History and Vision
Established in 1972, Business Events Perth (formerly known as Perth Convention Bureau) is responsible for attracting international and interstate business events to Western Australia. Supported by the Western Australian Government (through Tourism WA), the City of Perth and industry members, Business Events Perth drives the business events sector in Western Australia by marketing the City and State as a premium business events destination.
In 2019/20, Business Events Perth secured over $141 million in direct delegate expenditure (DDE) from business events in Western Australia. DDE is a universal key performance indicator specific to convention bureaux nationally and internationally, based on a calculation of the average on-ground spend of conference delegates. This value includes accommodation, delegate fees and all on-ground costs.
