This month, Phillip Island provided a stunning coastal backdrop for an industry event that brought the region’s business events community together and spotlighted the growing momentum across Phillip Island and Gippsland region.

Business Events Victoria delivered the day in partnership with regional stakeholders, sharing valuable insights and updates – from domestic business events trends through to the international incentive market outlook and the opportunities ahead for regional destinations.

What made the event truly special was the energy in the room. The enthusiasm, engagement and conversations between attendees reinforced the power of collaboration. The strong turnout was a clear signal that our industry is stronger when we come together, building the momentum needed to grow regional Victoria’s business events profile.

Networking forums like these are more than just catch-ups — they spark new ideas, open doors to fresh opportunities and position the region as a compelling choice for planners seeking fresh, memorable destinations. With its unique mix of coastal landscapes, wildlife experiences and standout venues, Phillip Island and Gippsland are perfectly placed to play a pivotal role as hub-and-spoke destinations, driving growth and dispersal opportunities right across regional Victoria.

The highly successful day was proudly hosted at the Phillip Island Penguin Parade Visitor Centre.
