About Perth
Why Meet in West Australia?
Perth is a sleek modern city, clean and with a sense of space and relaxation. Nestled on the banks of the Swan River, Perth is a small city but lacks none of the quality opportunities that the conference traveler seeks. It has all the state of the art conveniences that will make your conference a success including quality hotels, a casino, great restaurants and endless recreation opportunities in a mild climate.
Popular attractions near to Perth include Fremantle, Rottenest Island, our beaches and Kings Park. Sunsets over the Indian Ocean are well worth a look.
Further away tourists are drawn to the Margaret River wine region, the Pinnacles, Karri forests and surf beaches. If you have even more time, the towns and surrounds of Broome, Kalbarri, Albany and Esperance provide fantastic destinations.
