Business Events Sydney (BESydney) has launched a new event planning portal to support event organisers by providing access to tools, resources, and funding to host their business event in Sydney.
The portal, developed in collaboration with small event organisers, assists throughout the event planning journey – from research and pitching to planning, budgeting, and marketing.
BESydney CEO, Lyn Lewis-Smith, added that the portal provides insights on event considerations including delivering a socially impactful event or checklists for inclusivity and accessibility, as well as ideas for venues, entertainment, and speakers in Sydney.
It can be further personalised by event sector with resources and content tailored to event sector requirements. Users are also able to create custom supplier lists based on unique event preferences.
The portal also provides access to the Sydney Meeting Fund which supports business events with between 100 to 500 participants or delegates, with offers from AU$40 (US$25.70) per person for eligible conferences, incentives or corporate events.
The site has a video guide to explain navigation across the pitching and bidding process; researching and planning; and then promoting the event and boosting delegate attendance. Some of those tools include downloadable event marketing toolkits, video and image galleries, Sydney destination guides and presentation templates.
