Anna Case, Executive Manager of Sales at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre (GCCEC), brings a wealth of experience in destination marketing and the convention business. Since joining GCCEC earlier this year, Anna has gained valuable insights into why associations consistently choose this iconic venue for their conferences and events.

Why is Gold Coast a Preferred Destination for Associations

The Gold Coast is a major draw for conference organisers. With its world-class beaches, vibrant tourism offerings, and year-round mild climate, it strikes the perfect balance between business and leisure. Associations can offer delegates the chance to combine productive conference days with relaxation and networking in a beautiful setting. GCCEC is also easily accessible, with excellent transport links and proximity to major cities, making it convenient for delegates from around the world.

Flexible Facilities

Anna highlights GCCEC’s versatility as a key factor for associations. "Whether hosting large conventions or smaller meetings, we offer spaces that can be tailored to meet specific needs," she explains. From expansive exhibition halls to intimate meeting rooms, the Centre accommodates events of all sizes. It’s also equipped to meet complex audio-visual requirements, with expert support ensuring seamless technical execution for every event.

Exceptional Catering and Menus

Catering is a crucial aspect of any conference, and GCCEC excels here as well. "We offer a wide range of menus that can be customised to suit dietary preferences and event styles," says Anna. Whether casual buffets or gourmet meals, the Centre’s catering ensures a memorable experience for delegates.

Understanding Budgets

GCCEC also understands the financial considerations associations face. "We work closely with organisers to create cost-effective packages that don’t compromise on quality," Anna adds. This approach ensures associations receive the best value for their investment.

With its stunning location, flexibility, and exceptional service, GCCEC remains the venue of choice for associations nationwide.
