Welcome To The Cairns Convention Centre

“They provided options / flexibility. We were able to be less formal / more casual and create a welcoming and friendly environment; this enabled us to be flexible with our program. The decking at CCC and a combination of inside and outside events made it less conventional.

We chose Cairns because it offers a unique and varied environment (where the rainforest meets the sea). We wanted to encourage families to attend and Cairns offers a huge array of attractions. Accommodation is varied and all within walking distance. Cairns is relatively easy for interstate and international visitors to access and the weather association with a northern Australian winter was a plus.”

ASN Events has had the pleasure of working with the team at Cairns Convention Centre many times since the centre opened. Throughout that time they have consistently delivered excellent, responsive and personalised care for our conferences. Nothing has been too much trouble, whether it being from events that have booked out Cairns to smaller ones of only a couple of hundred delegates. We congratulate them on their 20th anniversary and look forward to many more meetings in the CCC.

I have heard a whole lot of positive comments and in particular these positive comments are about your staff who we thought did a terrific job and were friendly and helpful throughout. So a big thank you to all of them for their professionalism and attitude it was greatly appreciated.

“Cairns was a fantastic location, it has that great balance of scale. It is large enough to offer all the facilities you’d want, but it’s small and compact enough to just wander down the street where you’re sure to meet somebody from the conference. The thing that will stick most in my mind is the general warmth and atmosphere during the conference.”

“Hosting the International Symposium on Tropical and Temperate Horticulture in Tropical North Queensland is a specific decision on the part of the organisers… Tropical North Queensland possesses the three drivers for horticulture success: quality products, proximity to target markets and welldeveloped supply chains. “Cairns’ proximity to South East Asia and the ability of the convention centre to host the nine symposia were also important considerations.”

“There is no hotel in Australia that can offer the facilities we need to run all our sessions at the same time, so using a convention centre was the only answer. We looked at doing it in Sydney and Melbourne, but you can’t go past the value for money and the World Heritage appeal of Cairns. It’s just a beautiful part of the world. I certainly also used the fact that the Convention Centre had been voted the World’s Best Conference Centre in 2014 as part of the promotion of our congress.”

“Cairns was a standout host city, delivering world-class service in a world heritage environment with a friendly and engaged community. I commend you for seizing this opportunity to remind the world that Cairns is an ideal location for international events and a showcase for Australia’s favourite natural and cultural qualities. You have won over a thousand new advocates for Cairns and Far North Queensland.”
