As the peak body for business events in South Australia, the Adelaide Convention Bureau is the official organisation responsible for promoting Adelaide and South Australia as a desirable business meeting and incentive destination. It actively markets and promotes the state both nationally and internationally to convention, meeting, exhibition and incentive travel buyers.

The business events team maintains an extensive database of association and corporate bodies, identifying suitable opportunities and converting sales leads by direct communication and strategic relationship management with decision-makers.

The Adelaide Convention Bureau also provides a range of services to its locally based members, which may either be of an advisory nature or directly assist them in securing business related to conventions and/or incentive travel.

The Adelaide Convention Bureau works to create new business opportunities for its members, introducing them to the lucrative conventions, meetings, exhibitions and corporate incentive travel markets.

The Bureau views its members as partners operating together to showcase the best possible destination that is attractive to national and international business visitors alike. A partnership built on trust and understanding, which offers both the members and Bureau a reciprocal investment.

The Adelaide Convention Bureau is committed to ensure all members receive the best possible return on investment, through the many opportunities and resources offered.

The Adelaide Convention Bureau has over 200 members, which represent a diverse range of business events and incentive products.

Current members include accommodation providers, venues, meeting managers, attractions, retailers, restaurants, printers, tour operators, airlines, other travel and transport service providers and the list goes on.

Please refer to the Adelaide Convention Bureau Membership Listing for a comprehensive list of all Bureau members.

The Adelaide Convention Bureau’s members are based in the city, suburbs and regional areas of the South Australia. The Bureau promotes South Australia as a whole for conventions, conference, meetings, exhibitions and incentives.

Bureau clients are diverse and the Adelaide Convention Bureau must offer various options to clients for conference venues, accommodation, functions, pre and post touring etc. Therefore, it is important to have members from not only the city and suburbs, but also key regional areas within the state.

Adelaide Convention Bureau membership works on a financial year basis (1st July - 30th June), however new members are welcome to join at anytime.

Pro-rata rates on membership are offered after 1st January and are calculated on the remaining months left within the financial year.

The Adelaide Convention Bureau understands that all members have varying needs, objectives, sizes and budgets; therefore we have designed a membership package to cater for a diverse range of member services.
