CHIEF MINISTER’S WELCOME

Andrew Barr MLA ACT Chief Minister

Canberra continues to be a thriving destination for events of all kinds. Creating your business event in Canberra gives you unparalleled access to national decision makers and thought leaders. Our knowledge economy is supported by Australia’s leading research and academic institutions, a vibrant innovation ecosystem and strength in industry sectors driving Australia’s future.

Canberra’s size, the diversity of venues and the easy access to a range of experiences across the city, provides the perfect environment for your delegates to connect and build networks.

After the work is done, your delegates will discover a city nestled in nature with space to breathe, reflect and relax. Exciting food and beverage offerings showcase our diverse Canberra region, and world-class museums and galleries tell the nation’s story. Everyone is welcome in Canberra. We are a proudly multicultural city and the most LGBTIQ+ welcoming and inclusive city in Australia.

Canberra is the place to discuss the big issues, create opportunities and find solutions. It is our nation’s meeting place, and we look forward to welcoming you in 2023.
