The Business Events Sunshine Coast (BESC) team hosted the first of its “Sunshine Soriee” networking events at the Terrace on the Domain last week.

The event was an opportunity for Sydney’s leading PCOs, corporate, government, association and incentive event buyers to connect with Sunshine Coast operators and learn about the region’s advantages to hosting conferences and events.

The operators came from across the Sunshine Coast and included neighbouring K’Gari. The event was arranged and coordinated by BESC’s Ali Thompson and Michelle Burgum, with popular Sunshine Coast breakfast radio host, Sam Coward as MC, delivering his naturally sunny repartee and extensive local destination knowledge.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better afternoon and a better audience to showcase our range of ‘sunny suppliers’,” BESC Business & Leisure Events Manager, Ali Thompson,” said.

“The feedback was very positive and the timing perfect as the meeting and incentive market is gathering momentum and our rich diversity of product options and ease of accessibility makes the Sunshine Coast a premium destination for business events.”

Further events are scheduled for the Brisbane/South-East Queensland market at Australia Zoo in September, and then in Melbourne at the end of October.
