Alice Springs is a magical place. It’s the most famous town in the outback, star of stage and screen, and an icon of the nation. It’s also the geographical heart of Australia, making it perfect for bringing together delegates from across the country.
It may be famed as an outback destination, but the Alice defies expectations with its quality conferencing facilities. You’ll also find a genuine, heartfelt ‘can do’ attitude here, from all involved in the business tourism industry.
Knowledge leadership
Alice Springs offers organisers and event planners the opportunity to leverage specialist local knowledge that’s the envy of the world. It has an outstanding reputation in rural and indigenous health, mining and natural resources, innovation and information technology, and arid zone management.
Indigenous art
The Alice is home to some of Australia’s most successful Aboriginal artists. The significance of ancient dreamtime stories runs through their art, visible in local galleries and community art centres. Delegates can easily meet with local artists and learn more about this fascinating art form.
An international centre of Desert Knowledge
Desert Knowledge Australia is headquartered in Alice Springs. It develops business networks and partnerships across inland Australia, to ensure an economically sustainable future for the country’s desert regions.
One third of the world's land surface is desert and home to approximately one billion people, or a sixth of the world's population. Australian leadership in this area offers immense international potential and it’s a fascinating subject for any visitor.
A striking business venue
With its innovative architecture, the Alice Springs Convention Centre creates a sense of being immersed in the outback of Australia’s Red Centre.
