Business Events Sydney (BESydney) has launched a comprehensive event planning portal designed to assist organisers in every stage of managing business events in Sydney.
The platform, developed with input from small event organisers and agents, offers tools, resources, and funding opportunities aimed at enhancing efficiency and customisation. It will support all stages of the event planning process including researching, pitching, planning, budgeting and marketing the event, all in one place.
BESydney CEO, Lyn Lewis-Smith said: “We are continuing our digital transformation journey to provide efficiencies and tailoring our service to specific customer needs with our new event planning portal. 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. We want to support conference, meeting and event owners pitch, win, plan and promote business events in Sydney”.
In addition to financial support (access to the Sydney Meeting Fund which supports business events with between 100-500 participants or delegates), the portal features a video guide for navigation, downloadable marketing toolkits, and Sydney destination guides, among other resources, to aid planners in pitching, organising, and promoting their events successfully in Sydney.
Conference meeting and event owners can create a free account and access online resources here.
