Located in the geographical heart of Australia, Alice Springs is the perfect location to bring together delegates from across the country. As Australia’s most famous outback town, Alice Springs often defies expectations with quality conferencing facilities and a genuine heartfelt ‘can do’ attitude from all involved in the business tourism industry.
Alice Springs offers organisers and event planners the opportunity to leverage a wealth of specialist local knowledge in the areas of rural and indigenous health, mining and natural resources, innovation and information technology and arid zone management.
The Alice is also home to some of Australia’s most successful Aboriginal artists who have captured the interest of locals and visitors alike. Artists communicate the importance and significance of ancient dreamtime stories through their art, visible in local galleries and community art centres. Opportunities exist for delegates to meet with local artists and learn more about this fascinating art form.
Desert Knowledge Australia is another industry unique to Alice Springs. It develops business networks and partnerships right across inland Australia to ensure an economically sustainable future for Australian desert regions.
Given that one third of the world's land surface is desert and these regions are inhabited by approximately one billion people or one sixth of the world's population, the national and international demand for Australian know-how, products and capabilities is insatiable.
The Alice Springs Convention Centre features innovative architecture that creates a sense of being immersed in the genuine Australian outback. It can cater for meetings of 10 people through to conferences of 900 delegates and exhibitions involving up to 3,000 visitors.
There are a wide variety of accommodation options including hotels and apartments with easy access to the town centre. To enhance your event program, delegates can encounter true outback adventure with options such as hot air ballooning, quad biking, camel riding and cattle station experiences. Spectacular dinners can easily be arranged under the desert night sky allowing participants to leave behind the formalities of the main event and enjoy the freedom and tranquility of the great outdoors.
The passion and commitment of the industry in Alice Springs, coupled with the dramatic and magnificent landscape is the perfect combination for an unforgettable business event.
