Tasmanian Business Events Attraction Fund
The Tasmanian Government and Business Events Tasmania are dedicated to supporting business events that will have long lasting benefits to the state. The Tasmanian Business Events Attraction Fund (BEAF) allows Business Events Tasmania to offer financial support at the critical bidding stage, to help secure strategic national and international conferences that align with Tasmania’s key industry sectors.
An event’s suitability for support will be assessed by an external panel against a number of criteria, that include how the business event relates to a key Tasmanian trade or business sector, the business event’s ability to drive visitation to the state, the extent to which the business event supports regional yield and dispersal and the business event’s potential to leave a legacy in the state.
