Business Events Sydney (BESydney) is extending a helping hand to South-east Asian event planners with the Sydney Meetings Fund (SMF), where the financial incentive aims to support smaller international business events held in Sydney before June 30, 2025.
The SMF provides A$40 (US$27.30) per delegate for events with a minimum of 75 participants. The funding can be used to offset various costs, including venue hire, transportation, and welcome dinners.
Also making it easier to choose Sydney, BESydney’s Event Planning Portal offers comprehensive tools to research, plan, pitch, and promote events. A supplier search tool allows users to create a Sydney supplier list tailored by delegate numbers and any unique requirements. The portal also offers tips for organising events in Sydney and itinerary suggestions.
Additionally, Sydney continues to evolve as a destination for business events. Recent additions include a new wildlife experience at Taronga Zoo, a new Australian First Nations restaurant Midden by Mark Olive at the Sydney Opera House, and the upcoming Urbnsurf wave park.
