THE Convention Centre has a reputation of doing serious business in a stunning location. And no wonder. Its a stunning building having won 2 Institute of Architects awards and is surely the jewel in the crown of this tropical city. The Centre has a new Hall 2 which converts from a 5600 seat sports arena to a 5000 seat plenary hall. It can also provide a 1500m2 exhibition space.

In August, Microsoft Australia will host its annual premier educational conference (outside a capital city for the first time), attracting 2000 delegates. More and more organisations are breaking away from the capital city tradition and booking conventions in Tropical North Queensland, where the climate and the pace suits a relaxed lifestyle. This is also a trend for international delegates like the Association of British Travel Agents who recently hosted their annual convention in Cairns.
