Planning events in Sydney, Australia just got a little easier
thanks to a technological update.
Business Events Sydney (BESydney) has launched its new event
planning portal to support event organisers to access tools, resources, and
funding to host their business event in Sydney.
The event planning portal has been designed in consultation
with customers who run small events and agents to address the challenges they
are facing during the event planning process. It will support all stages of the
event planning process including researching, pitching, planning, budgeting,
and marketing the event, all in one place.
BESydney CEO, Lyn Lewis-Smith said, “We are continuing our
digital transformation journey to provide efficiencies and tailoring our
service to specific customer needs with our new event planning portal. The
portal provides insights on event considerations including delivering a
socially impactful event or checklists for inclusivity and accessibility, as
well as ideas for venues, entertainment, and speakers in Sydney. We want to
support conference, meeting and event owners pitch, win, plan and promote
business events in Sydney”.
The new events planning portal is personalised by event
sector with resources and content tailored to event sector requirements. Users
are also able to create custom supplier lists based on unique event
preferences. The portal is designed to be of benefit to smaller events which
may not have an events team behind it, and it provides access to the Sydney
Meeting Fund which supports business events with between 100-500 participants
or delegates.
With offers from AU$40 per person, the Sydney Meetings Fund
is dedicated to helping business events become a success—this may include
conferences, incentives or corporate events that are deemed eligible.
The site has a video guide to explain navigation - across
the pitching and bidding process; researching and planning; and then promoting
the event and boosting delegate attendance. Some of those tools include
downloadable event marketing toolkits, video and image galleries, Sydney
destination guides and presentation templates.
Conference meeting and incentive event owners can create a
free account and access online resources here BESydney Event Planning Platform.
