The Business Events Council of Australia
The Business Events Council of Australia (BECA) was formed in 1994 as a peak industry body. It provides an umbrella structure for the key industry associations operating in the Australian business events sector.
As the peak industry body for the business events sector we provide a single voice for the industry and liaise with the federal government and relevant agencies on matters common to all sectors of the industry. Our members represent the cross-section of the industry and we work together to build a strong voice for all sectors of the industry.

The Federal Government has confirmed a $2 million allocation to measure the impact and benefit of business events. The project is being rolled out in two phases, with the Government working closely with BECA to roll out “bespoke data collection points including venues, organisers, delegates and exhibitors” across the country.
