Cairns presents ist renewed convention facility: The Cairns Convention Centre, which has been operated by ASM Global since it opened in 1996, will now be able to host multiple events as well as larger conferences requiring multiple break out spaces.
“The expansion will enhance Cairns’ standing as a world leader in hosting business events. Cairns Convention Centre is on track to host 160 events this financial year, including 60 conferences bringing more than 35,000 delegates to Cairns, delivering a visitor spend of over $100 million into the region,” says ASM Global (Asia Pacific) Chairman and Chief Executive Harvey Lister AM.

A key part of the expansion is the Trinity Room and Terrace level, offering views over Trinity Inlet. A large undercover Porte Cochere planted with native, tropical flora can also be used as a function space. The latest audio-visual equipment, contemporary interiors and new building systems are delivering a seamless event delivery and experience.
“We are already receiving positive reactions to the new spaces, with clients impressed with the contemporary design and light filled areas that feature our lush, tropical rainforest in the background,” says Cairns Convention Centre general manager Janet Hamilton. “We sit at the heart of one of the world’s most beautiful destinations and great care and consideration was taken to bringing the natural environment into the Centre’s spaces. From our open spaces with floor to ceiling windows, to our stunning Trinity Room and Terrace with views across the inlet, the Centre showcases Cairns’ natural assets.”
