Perth Convention Bureau (PCB) has been helping not-for-profit associations, corporations and agents bring their conferences and incentive groups to Western Australia since 1972. Our charter is to market Western Australia nationally and internationally, in conjunction with local organisations, as a destination for conventions, exhibitions and incentive travel groups.

Our mission is to secure business events to be held in this State that generate social and economic benefits for the people of Western Australia. We know what our great State has to offer, and we know what you need to stage a successful event.

PCB is in the business of connecting you with all the elements you need to stage a successful business event in a surprising destination. We offer a range of services that will assist you in making your next conference the best it can be, and the best part is the majority of our services, assistance and advice is free.

In each of the last four financial years, the Bureau has exceeded its target and remains on track to achieve its 5 year goal of securing $395 million in direct delegate expenditure in the years 2007-12.

PCB has an annual budget of around $5 million, two thirds of which is funded by the Western Australia State Government through Tourism Western Australia.  Other major stakeholders are the City of Perth, Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre and Burswood Entertainment Complex.

The Bureau has more than 200 fee-paying members who are suppliers to the meetings industry in Western Australia, including hotels, venues, audio visual and staging companies, professional conference organisers and other service providers.

Through our cooperative marketing opportunities, including regular site inspections, our free venue finding service, website and publications, we work with our members to increase Western Australia’s share of business events and maximise the return on membership investment.
