PCEC are thrilled to announce that we have been awarded the title of Australia’s Best Convention Centre 2024 at the World MICE Awards! These prestigious awards serve to celebrate and reward excellence in MICE tourism. This incredible honour reflects the dedication, and passion of our entire team, who strive every day to create unforgettable moments for our clients and their delegates.
As we celebrate this achievement, we are reminded of the countless events and experiences we’ve shared with our clients over the past 20 years. We are proud of the history we’ve built together, and even prouder of the team that makes it all possible. This past year PCEC has hosted over 500 events and welcomed over 100,000 national and international delegates to the venue. “This award reflects the hard work from the team over the past couple of years and reminds us that team culture, respect and a can do attitude is at the heart of customer service, and the soul of a venue is its people, not how large or small a venue may be” says Nigel Keen, General Manager.

This gives Cairns Convention Centre the ability to host multiple or larger events, with conventions and exhibitions of up to 2,500 guests now able to be accommodated in the entire venue.
In line with the Anti-Discrimination and Human Rights Legislation Amendment (Respect at Work) Bill 2022, ICC Sydney encourages behaviour and communication that is respectful with every interaction at the venue.
