The Victorian Government is now offering grants of up to $25,000 to eligible business events held in metropolitan Melbourne before the end of 2022.
Melbourne Convention Bureau’s National Business Events Program is designed to give a helping hand to domestic business event organisers in holding their events in Melbourne.
The National Business Events Program will revitalise Melbourne's business events sector and boost interstate visitors to the city.
With a focus on domestic association conferences, exhibitions or tradeshows, workshops and seminars, as well as corporate meetings and incentive group events with a business event program, funding is available to offset actual costs for hosting their events in Victoria.
Funding Information
The program provides eligible event organisers funding up to $25,000 to support actual costs for hosting their event in Melbourne, including accommodation, venue hire, transport and other event costs, with 50 per cent payable before the event commences to support upfront expenses.
Eligibility Criteria
To be eligible for funding, events must:
• have a minimum 2-day program
• attract at least 150 in-person delegates
• have 30% or more of the patrons coming from interstate
• be held in metropolitan Melbourne before 31 December 2022.
• The grant money can be used on venue hire, accommodation, transport and other event costs, with the aim of spreading the benefits across different businesses in Victoria's events supply chain, such as hotels and hospitality businesses.
