The

positive outlook, creative precincts and
entrepreneurial spirit, all of which continue to
advance its new world city characteristics.
Brisbane’s knowledge-based industries are supported by exceptional
research, infrastructure and talent. From renewable energy to
clean technology, manufacturing to infrastructure, and food and
beverage to digital industries, Brisbane is growing its presence in the
global business community. Much of this advancement is the result

communities – providing conference organisers with excellent links to
acclaimed thought-leaders and innovators.
The progressive city has supported the delivery of an unprecedented
$18 billion (AUD) public infrastructure spend to ensure the growth
and development of Brisbane is world-class. Brisbane City Council
has introduced its Green Heart city-wide environmental initiative to
work towards its 2026 target to be carbon neutral and to become
Australia’s most sustainable city.
This, together with the capital city’s great lifestyle, subtropical climate,
friendly disposition, diverse range of accommodation infrastructure,
and enticing events and leisure attractions, makes Brisbane the
perfect place for meeting planners and conference delegates.
Brisbane Marketing is the agency charged with the economic
development of the city and its Convention Bureau is committed to
attracting world-class conferences and business events to Brisbane.
The Convention Bureau is here to work closely with you to make your
business event the very best it can be.

Confédération Internationale
du Commerce et de
l’Industrie des Légumes Secs
(CICILS IPTIC)

Event profile
Destination
The International Pulse Trade
and Industry Confederation
Convention is one of the
biggest international events
specific to the world pulse
industry. Held every year, the
convention brings together
leading international
speakers and industry
representatives including
producers, exporters,
importers and brokers for
networking opportunities
and an in-depth review of
current global trends.
Australia is one of the
world’s biggest pulse
exporting countries and
Brisbane Marketing worked
with Pulse Australia (the
peak national body which
represents all sectors of the
pulse industry in Australia)
and the Confédération
Internationale du Commerce
et de l’Industrie des Légumes
Secs (CICILS IPTIC) to help
secure the event for the city.
Pulses – an Australian export
SATISFIED CUSTOMERS
“The best CICILS convention ever.”
Pulse Australia, Chief Executive Officer,
Gavin Gibson
High points
While the strong line-up
of keynote speakers
including Nobel Prize winner
Dr Mark Howden (2007 joint
winner with Al Gore and
others from the International
Panel on Climate Change)
provided delegates with
valuable insights into current
industry trends, the
convention also provided
delegates with the
opportunity to enjoy a range
of pre and post tours
designed to make the most
of local recreational activities.
Amongst the optional tours,
delegates had the chance to
see native wildlife including
koalas and kangaroos, visit
the famed Great Barrier Reef
and experience Australia’s
unique and engaging style
of hospitality.
Marketing’s assistance
was crucial – helping with
everything from finding
the conference venue and
gala event locations, to
organising contacts for
delegate gifts and pre and
post tours, to arranging staff
for information desks.
Outcomes
The conference exceeded
expectations – securing
200 more delegates than
the previous event. In
summing up, Pulse Australia
Chief Executive Officer,
Gavin Gibson said Brisbane
“The understanding,
attention to detail,
unbelievable reliability and
level of support, seemingly
24-hours a day, resulted in us
managing to put on the best
CICILS convention ever,”
he said.

QUEENSLAND – WHERE AUSTRALIA SHINES
Fresh, friendly
and forwardthinking
From white sandy
beaches to red desert
reaches, Queensland is a
state of contrasts. City,
coast or country it’s got
what you need to build a
great business event.
Best known as the home of
iconic tourism destinations
like the Great Barrier Reef,
the Daintree Rainforest and
Fraser Island, Queensland
is a state blessed by
both beauty and bounty.
Held fast in the hearts of
many Australians as their
favourite holiday destination,
Queensland is also a state
rich in resources, talent
and innovation.
In the last two decades
Queensland’s population has
almost doubled and the
economy has powered
ahead to outpace all other
12
Australian states. The close
proximity to the Asia-Pacific
region and the size and
diversity of the state’s
resources sector uniquely
positions Queensland on the
global map.
Fuelled by this energy
and sense of opportunity
and bolstered by
Queensland’s relaxed,
outdoor lifestyle and easy
access to iconic destinations,
business events thrive.
THERE’S NOTHING LIKE AUSTRALIA
Coastal Queensland
Unique,
authentic and
inspiring
A young nation founded
on ancient land.
A place of beauty rich
and rare that inspires
creative thinking,
fresh endeavours and
great adventures.
Proudly claiming its title
as the world’s smallest
continent and largest island,
Australia is one of the truly
iconic travel destinations.
Renowned as the home of
colourful characters, unique
wildlife and scenic wonders
like the awe-inspiring Uluru,
Australia is equally renowned
as a serious place in which to
do business.
During the 2010 global
financial crisis Australia
maintained strong growth,
outpacing all other advanced
economies and securing
praise from the International
Monetary Fund for its future
prospects. Along with its
economic credentials,
the country has produced
13 Nobel Laureates and given
the world ground-breaking
innovations such
as the black-box flight
recorder, electronic
pacemaker and wireless
networking technology.
World-class infrastructure,
sophisticated facilities and a
highly-skilled workforce add
further force to the country’s
ability to deliver exceptional
business events.

According to the Financial

Centre of Excellence
A hub for ideas and innovation
As a growth city with
a competitive business
base, Brisbane has a
diverse and prosperous
economy built on an
easy balance of
traditional industries and
emerging knowledgebased sectors.
With local industries
spanning everything from
clean technologies to life
sciences, Brisbane has
emerged as the economic
engine room of Queensland
and a driving force behind
Australia’s economic growth.
The city – singled out as
a hotspring of innovation
by global management
consulting firm McKinsey
& Company – has become
a magnet for multinational
firms and the vibrant home
of progressive research and
development communities.
Following the chain of
opportunity, businesses
are attracting and
encouraging innovation,
industry leadership and
emerging talent.
For meeting planners, this
presents a unique chance
to offer technical tours
and access world-class
thought-leaders and keynote
speakers who can enrich
the conference experience
with their expert knowledge,
global networks and on-theground support.
WORLD-CLASS RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Brisbane’s Translational Research
Institute (TRI) will be the first institute of its kind in Australia. Opening in 2012, the
TRI will be home to up to 700 researchers and will transform Australia’s capability to
develop and produce biopharmaceuticals and treatments.

AREAS OF EXCELLENCE
CLEAN TECHNOLOGIES
Ecosciences precinct
Home to Australia’s first
dedicated ecosciences precinct
Clean technologies
Brisbane is well-placed to
capitalise on the world’s
growing demand for energy
and emerge as a global
leader in energy innovation.
Guided by sustainably
focused governments and
world-renowned universities
and research institutions,
Brisbane is establishing
its credentials as a leader
in the innovation of clean
technologies. The rapid
growth in the region’s
population has resulted in
the emergence of several
greenfield developments,
providing opportunities for
clean tech incubation and
integration, demonstration
projects and large-scale
renewable energy projects.
32
Alongside these
developments, Brisbane’s
ecosciences precinct stands
out as Australia’s first centre
dedicated to solving some
of the country’s biggest
environmental issues.
Home to a critical mass
of scientists, the precinct
is positioning Queensland
at the forefront of climate
change and environmental
research, opening the
door for Queensland
to export sustainability
knowledge and services
to the Asia-Pacific region.
Digital industries
Queensland’s information
and communications
technology (ICT) industry
directly employs more than
77,000 people in over 5,600
businesses, with estimated
revenues in excess of $23.6
billion (AUD). Brisbane and
the South-East Queensland
region are the base for more
than 80 per cent of these
companies, with over 70
per cent of the Queensland
industry directly involved in
either software development
or the provision of ICT
services. Many influential ICT
multinationals such as IBM,
Boeing, Red Hat and SAP are
located in Brisbane.

Food and beverage
The food and beverage
sector is Australia’s largest
manufacturing industry,
employing more than
200,000 people. Within
Brisbane, key food and
beverage sectors include
ingredients, meat processing,
beverages, seafood and
ready-to-eat. Notably, the
region’s growing consumer
market, skilled workforce,
lower operational costs
and excellent infrastructure
has attracted companies
such as Arnotts (Campbell
Soup Company), Coca-Cola
Amatil, Kerry Ingredients,
Schweppes, Smiths
Snackfoods (PepsiCo), Swift
Australia and Tate and Lyle.
Brisbane also distinguishes
itself in this arena as the
home of Australia’s first
health and food sciences
precinct – a dynamic hub of
scientific research designed
to foster collaboration
between researchers
working in the areas of
biosecurity, healthcare, food
safety and food technology.
Infrastructure
Across South-East
Queensland, economic
and population growth
are driving the need for
new infrastructure. The
world’s growing demand
for Queensland’s resources
– coal, bauxite, zinc and
copper – is generating
a need to upgrade port
facilities, rail links, roads
and energy networks to
capitalise on emerging
opportunities.
In line with this, the
Queensland Government has
committed more than $134
billion (AUD) to planning
and delivering infrastructure
projects to secure the
state’s prosperity and
lifestyle, with the South East
Queensland Infrastructure
Plan and Program 2010–2031
detailing future investment
in transport, water, energy
development, information
and communication
technology, and social and
community infrastructure.

and state-of-the-art facilities,
UQ ranks first amongst
Australian universities
for license income, value
of equity holdings and
invention disclosures, new
Australian patents and active
start-up companies.

SUSTAINABLE AND STRONG
City Botanic Gardens
A city with a green heart
Home to more than
1,820 parks and reserves,
720 kilometres of
waterways, a coastal
marine sanctuary and
a diverse range of
native wildlife, Brisbane
is easily Australia’s
most biologically
diverse capital.
Under the leadership of
Brisbane City Council,
Brisbane is fast-tracking
its way forward to a green
future. Council’s Green
Heart initiative – which
sees business, industry,
community and all levels
of government uniting
to improve energy and
water efficiencies and
make meaningful cuts in
greenhouse emissions –
will see Brisbane become
Australia’s most sustainable
city and a carbon neutral
destination by 2026.
Alongside this, the city is
securing a name for itself as
a hotbed for climate change
research and innovations in
sustainable clean energy.
The local energy sector is
evolving towards a broader
mix of industries and gaining
international cachet; in 2010,
Abengoa Solar – a Spanish
global leader in solar power
– chose Brisbane as the site
of its first Australian office.
Adding to the growing
environmental kudos is
Brisbane’s new ecosciences
precinct – a collaborative
working environment that
is setting the platform for
climate change research.

CASE STUDY: Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre
Cooking with the community
Brisbane Convention &
Exhibition Centre (BCEC)
believes community and
social values to be
mainstream values,
fundamental to business
principles.
BCEC commits to a
strong Corporate Social
Responsibility agenda, the
centrepiece of which is a
very active Community
Engagement Program. A
staff-led Community Cabinet
is the strategic driver of
the Centre’s wide-ranging
calendar of community
engagement activities, the
most popular of which in
2010 was the Cooking with
the Community project.
40
BCEC partners with West
End Community House
West End Community House
(WECH) provides shelter
to marginalised people
and a connection to
much-needed services,
through its Community
Development and Housing
Support Programs.
BCEC enjoys an ongoing
relationship with WECH on a
number of levels.
“The Cooking School of Hard
Knocks,” as it was called by
those who attended, was
born out of a discussion
between members of
the Centre’s Community
Cabinet including Executive
Chef Martin Latter and
Kat Ogilvie, a community
development worker at West
End Community House.
Objective
The goal of this program
was to teach participants
– clients of WECH – useful
living skills and hopefully
improve their quality of life
through basic nutrition and
cooking classes.
“We wanted to do
something that would really
make a difference,” says
Executive Chef, Martin Latter
who is usually more at home
overseeing a banquet for
2,000 or more guests.
The Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre is committed to being a world leader in
sustainable business practices. Along with its Community Engagement Program initiatives, the
Centre delivers strong environmental credentials including Earth Check silver certification and
International Association of Congress Centres (AIPC) Quality Standards Gold certification.
Cooking with the Community project –
Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre
Implementation
Outcome
Every Wednesday for six
weeks the small group
would make their way from
the House to the kitchens
of BCEC where Martin and
his team were waiting with
their tools of trade. Dubbed
the “Cooks of Hard Knocks,”
participants in the course
threw themselves into a
program of learning about
the benefits of healthy
eating, affordable menus and
shopping choices. The group
learnt about different cuts of
meat, use of fresh seasonal
produce, how to cook low
cost one pot meals on basic
equipment and appliances,
and how to interpret the
maze of food labelling. Each
session finished with the
group tasting what they had
prepared and cooked.
The final cooking class in the
Centre’s restaurant kitchen
saw the enthusiastic cooks
demonstrating their newly
found confidence and skills
by cooking fresh tomato
concasse for pasta dishes
and meatballs, stir fry chilli
chicken and one step beef
curry – all under the watchful
eyes of their teachers.
“All the feedback from
the group has been
overwhelmingly positive,”
reports Kat Ogilvie from
WECH. “It was great from
our point of view because
it gave some of our
disadvantaged people the
chance to learn new cooking
skills and help improve their
self-esteem and confidence.”
There were health benefits
too she said with a couple
of the participants with
diabetes finding the emphasis
on fresh food beneficial.
Martin Latter’s view was
equally enthusiastic. “To
have the opportunity to
share my knowledge and
skills, to educate a group of
people to change their way
of thinking and to be able to
demonstrate how to access
cheaper, healthier, fresher
food was wonderful – it was
clearly one of the best things
I have ever done,” he says.
Footnote: BCEC is considering ways of enhancing
and developing the program in the future.
And of the participants:
“Thank you for a fantastic cooking class that has helped us gain new skills. We all had a great
time trying new foods and look forward to using these skills in our kitchens.”
“Like the company of the cooking staff, we felt very comfortable with them – wished it could
have lasted longer than six weeks.”

GREEN EVENT CHECKLIST
Planning and policies
■ Prepare a written environmental policy
for your event that can be shared with
suppliers, delegates and speakers.
■ Estimate the total carbon footprint and
plan to offset the carbon emissions
produced at the event. Detail this in
your costing so it is clear to the client.
■ Choose venues that have environmental
accreditation, for example Green Star

AUTHENTIC AUSTRALIA
Cable Beach – Western Australia
The trip of a lifetime
Kangaroos, koalas and
crocs. The big red rock,
the brightly coloured reef
and the bright stars of
the Southern Cross. Our
country is unique and
inspiring and wonderful.
Ultimate Australia awaits.
Australian Capital Territory
The political heart of
our nation and home to
Canberra’s powerhouse
collection of museums and
art galleries.
New South Wales
The all-round Aussie
experience to embrace –
from the zen of Byron Bay to
the zest of Sydney to the zip
of the Snowy Mountains.
Northern Territory
Unforgettable. Awe-inspiring.
Raw and real. A definite
Australian must-do for
must-see destinations like
Kakadu and Uluru.
South Australia
One for the wine lovers and
foodie aficionados. Picture
a city of churches, rolling
hills and the world-famous
vineyards of the Barossa Valley.
Tasmania
An island unto itself. Wild,
rugged and beautiful. Full of
history, adventure and iconic
locations like Wineglass Bay.
Victoria
Arts or outdoors, this
southern state delivers in
droves with the culturally
cool Melbourne and famed
sites such as the Great
Ocean Road.
Western Australia
Spanning around a third
of the country, this vast
state offers extraordinary
experiences – from
swimming with whale
sharks to camel rides on
Cable Beach.
