Investment in Brisbane to attract global leaders
With 7,000 delegates and media expected to gather at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre in November 2014 for the G20 Leaders Summit, the city is rapidly growing in status as a leading destination for international conferences and business events.
Over $88 million has been invested in refurbishments and upgrades to Brisbane hotels in the past financial year and a further $36 million is marked for further development in 2013, demonstrating the city's commitment to providing the international business events industry with excellent accommodation options.
Convention organisers will also benefit from new events infrastructure, including the $59 million Royal International Convention Centre, a $140 million expansion of the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre and the elegantly refurbished Brisbane City Hall, which caters for 1,600 guests.
