BRISBANE edged out Sydney to win the bid for the International Water Association (IWA) Water Congress in 2016, which is estimated to attract 3,000 delegates and generate A$11 million (US$11.3 million) for Queensland.
The event for the largest global network of water professionals will be held at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre.
Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre general manager, Bob O'Keeffe, said of the win: “This congress provides a great opportunity to increase Brisbane's international profile as a leading business destination and showcases the city's capability to host world-class scientific events.”
The congress was last held in Australia 10 years ago.
