Mark your diary now for Platform10 – the must-attend seminar for associations that are considering staging a major international event in Sydney. For Platform10, the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre has partnered with Business Events Sydney to provide you with all the inside information and practical tips you need to win and hold a successful and profitable conference.

Platform10 will offer case studies by Paul Harcombe, Congress Director of XXIV FIG International Congress 2010, and Chris Johnson, Convenor of the 9th World Metropolis Congress 2008. Delegates will also enjoy presentations from the PCOs of each event, who will provide valuable insights into the benefits of hosting a meeting, from increased membership to a higher profile and revenue for education and scholarships.

Attendance at Platform10 is free and airfares plus accommodation are complimentary for qualified interstate guests. The seminar is followed by lunch, which provides a great opportunity for you to meet and chat with key industry players.

Now in its 20th year, the popular Platform seminar has equipped hundreds of associations with the confidence and know-how required to bring major international meetings to Sydney.

“Last year’s Platform09 was an excellent event that demonstrated to my organisation that the premier venue for a conference in Australia is Sydney. I recognise that the facilities at the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre and the support supplied by Business Events Sydney are key benefits for the organisation of an international event.”
