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.

Launceston – The Accessible City
Tasmanians tend to fly under the radar but there is a terrific commitment to quality design and not accepting that because we are regional we can’t create something magnificent.

Art on the Wild Side
If you are thinking of taking a group to the region for a conference or meeting, make sure there is time to visit the Cradle Mountain Wilderness Gallery. Here you will find a large and eclectic collection of art inspired by the wild landscape that surrounds it – and the wildlife that inhabits it.
