Testimonials

Without the support of BESC, I don't believe we would have had such a highly successful conference. As we discovered working with the team, the Sunshine Coast really has so much to offer - we found a great venue, some outstanding offsite options for our evening events and some amazing activities for our partner program. BESC really did help us meet our conference needs.

Event planner, mining sector conference.

I always use a convention bureau when I am not familiar with a location. Our clients often have very specifc requests which means that we need very detailed information. The girls at Business Events Sunshine Coast were absolutely outstanding, they couldn't do enough! They were very thorough and fast with their replies and provided a great deal of useful contacts. I highly recommend them.
