Convention Program

The Cairns Convention Centre is a world class meetings venue in the tropical paradise of Cairns, fringed by the Great Barrier Reef and World Heritage Rainforest. Cairns is in the very heart of the Asia Pacific region and its International Airport makes it the most convenient of convention locations.

The Cairns Convention Centre is a purpose built, international standard meetings facility, ideal for exhibitions, banquets and conventions whether for 20 or 5000 delegates.

Voted 'one of the world's top ten international convention centres' by the North American Meeting Planners in the annual USA 'Beyond Borders Survey'. The only regional convention centre to be recognized in this prestigious award. 

Cairns has world-class infrastructure including over four thousand hotel rooms. Local destination management companies, tourism facilities and tour operators are fully skilled in the delivery of event requirements at the highest level.
