Cairns Convention Centre boosts Business Development Team ahead of expansion

The Cairns Convention Centre in Queensland, Australia, has welcomed Wayne Smith (pictured) as its new Business Development Director as the team strengthens ahead of the new expansion. Smith returns to Cairns after spending the previous four years as Director of Client Services at Darwin Convention Centre, part of the ASM Global portfolio. Jenny Graham will take on a new role at the Centre as Bid Strategy Manager, focusing on the international portfolio and Cathy Taylor will lead the national business division. Smith said: “Cairns has a strong reputation globally as a business events destination, and with the Cairns Convention Centre’s new expansion we have an opportunity to bring even more delegates to our region.” “With the new developments in the city, there are a lot of new experiences for returning clients.” The Cairns Convention Centre team will be visiting Brisbane, Sydney, Canberra, Adelaide and Melbourne in March to showcase the new expansion.
