Australia has dealt with a lot over the last few months leading into 2020. The east coast fires have ravaged all through beloved towns like Cobargo, Mogo, Nowra, Mallacoota – even Kangaroo Island and Selwyn Snow Fields causing mass devastation and displacement.

Canberra on Show plans to highlight the importance of local and interstate businesses within Australia during such a tense time. The trade show includes venues, event services and exhibitors, such as, Australian Institute of Sport, Canberra Rex Hotel, Australian Academy of Science, Hyatt Hotel, Kingpin Canberra, Crowne Plaza, Mercure Canberra, QANTAS, National Convention Centre, the Australian War Memorial plus over 50 more local suppliers and operators. This will be the quintessential event not to be missed by meeting planners – with the incentive of over 25 destination prizes to be won, including accommodation vouchers for a diversity of properties in Canberra, admittance to blockbuster exhibitions in some of our fantastic national institutions, and a $1,000 QANTAS travel voucher just to name a few!

An important lynchpin for the economy within the ACT are the events centred around businesses offering incentive programs, corporate meetings and conferences. These events are maintained and upheld by the enthusiastic industry that sees the strengths that the nation’s capital has to offer.

Canberra on Show is the perfect opportunity to showcase our territory’s potential as something more than just the quaint and tranquil bush-city that many Australians believe the ACT to be. Proving to you that Canberra could be where your next successful business event can take place.

Canberra is going to great efforts to keeping the economy booming through such times, take for example the upcoming Canberra Day public holiday or the Multicultural Festival, where a plethora of small businesses with kiosks and booths sprawl through Garema Place. This not only sheds light on their businesses but also the surrounding establishments; Landspeed Records, the Green Shed, Akiba, King O’Malley’s and the Canberra Centre just to name a few.

Canberra on Show commences Friday 28th February 11:30am – 1:30pm 2020 at the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) Arena, 26 Leverrier Street, Bruce.
