NSW REGIONAL CONFERENCING DEVELOPMENT GRANTS PILOT PROGRAM
The NSW Regional Conferencing Development Grants Pilot Program is designed to help stakeholders create exciting new business events for Regional NSW and to bring existing business events to Regional NSW, enriching the events with opportunities offered by iconic towns and regions while helping secure successful conferences and business events for their future.
Applications are now open for the NSW Regional Conferencing Development Grants Pilot Program. Funding will be offered between 4 August 2017 and 30 June 2018 (up to a maximum of $100,000) to be matched dollar-for-dollar by local communities, councils, entrepreneurs, associations, professional conference organisers etc. Small-scale infrastructure projects may be permitted but only in the context of creating a new business event or attracting an existing business event. A business event could take the form of a conference, workshop, seminar, training course, incentive and reward program or some other corporate related activity.
