The world-class Cairns Convention Centre is everything you would expect from an international purpose-built venue located amidst nature’s pristine playground.
It’s only in Cairns, you’ll find a world-class, internationally recognised convention centre uniquely situated between two UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Our region offers the Great Barrier Reef and Wet Tropics Rainforest, two world-renowned ecosystems with rich biodiversity, making it one of the most desirable locations globally.
Cairns, Tropical North Queensland also offers some of the most diverse First Nations tourism experiences in the world. Traditional Owners share their deep connection to rainforest, reef, outback and coastal Country through meaningful and authentic guided cultural experiences. From walking the world’s oldest rainforest with Traditional Owners to exploring Sea Country on the Great Barrier Reef, delegates can engage with storytelling, cultural knowledge and immersive hands‑on activities.
About The Cairns Convention Centre
Our Reconciliation Action Journey
As a world-class conference venue welcoming visitors from around the world, the Centre aims to deepen cultural connection and support the growth of First Nations tourism experiences throughout our region.
Developed with the guidance of Gimuy Walubara Yidinji Elder, Professor Henrietta Marrie, the Centre’s Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) outlines 17 actions and 82 deliverables to guide our commitment, ensuring our work is culturally grounded and respectful of Traditional Owners.
As part of our RAP, the Centre will actively promote First Nations tourism, arts, culture, and experiences, integrating local operators, storytellers, artists, and suppliers across the client and delegate journey.
