The PCB will be the major event sponsor, while the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre will be the venue partner.

PCB managing director Christine McLean said it was the right time for Perth to have a trade show for local, national and international buyers.

“The industry has come of age and I believe it can support and sustain an annual Perth trade show,” she said.
Management of the event has been outsourced to local company CMS Events.

McLean said the PCB was keen to provide a forum where the industry could meet with buyers to update them on what Perth and Western Australia had to offer as a business events destination. “We have been looking at some form of event for the past couple of years and I am pleased all the pieces of the jigsaw have fallen into place to enable us to mount an annual trade show,” she added.
