Sydney has won its third major conference in as many weeks, adding a A$15.6 million (US$14.7 mil) insurance congress to its June score card.
The Sydney Convention and Visitors Bureau said it had won a bid to host the Asia Pacific Life Insurance Council (APLIC) Congress in 2011, an event expected to attract 8000 delegates.
The congress is the largest Asian event secured by the SCVB this financial year and the largest annual insurance conference held in the Asia-Pacific region.
It comes on the heels of Sydney’s successful bids to stage the World Conference on Lung Cancer for up to 8,000 delegates in 2013, an event worth an estimated A$19.2 million, and the XXXII International Congress of Audiology for 1,600 delegates in 2014, worth A$8.8 million.
Together, the three events secured this month are worth an estimated A$43.6 million to the local economy.
