PROFESSIONAL CONFERENCE ORGANISER

ASPIRE AWARD

Business Events Perth’s Aspire Awards support Western Australian researchers, academics and professionals to attend an international business event or conference of their choice. For more than two decades, the Aspire Awards have helped Western Australians share knowledge and connect with industry leaders all over the world, highlighting Western Australian expertise at international conferences.

In 2024, Business Events Perth is excited to launch the inaugural Professional Conference Organiser Aspire Award.

What is the Professional Conference Organiser Aspire Award?

Funded by Business Events Perth, the Professional Conference Organiser Aspire Award invites Australian Professional Conference Organisers to apply for an international conference travel grant valued at $10,000. This award is designed to empower Professional Conference Organisers to attend an international conference alongside the CEO of one of their association conference clients. The award allows them to choose a conference that rotates around the globe, providing an opportunity to gain global insights and drive international connections.

What can the $10,000 award be used for?

The scholarship can be used within three years of receiving the Professional Conference Organiser Aspire Award and covers economy air travel, accommodation and registration to a relevant international conference to a maximum of $10,000 (exclusive of applicable GST). The funds are provided upon receiving paid receipts/invoices for the above mentioned expenses.


Applications for the 2024 Aspire Awards Program are now closed. Please stay tuned — the award recipients will be announced on 11th November 2024.
