Newcastle, Australia has secured two medical conferences worth around A$500,000 to the local economy. Estimated to bring 400 delegates to the region for a total of 2,000 room nights, the conferences are the 2011 Vascular Interventions Conference and the 2011 Annual Scientific Meeting of the Australasian Society of Aerospace Medicine.
World-class expertise in endovascular interventions by surgeons at the Lake Macquarie Private Hospital helped ensure the Vascular conference returned to Newcastle for the third time. it will feature live case demonstrations of operations being performed at Lake Macquarie hospital and transmitted live to the conference audience at Newcastle City Hall.
“The Healthcare sector accounts for at least 15 per cent of the conferences that we have confirmed over the past financial year and is the largest single industry sector represented in the conferences that take place in Newcastle,” said Ruth Appleby, Conventions manager at Newcastle Visitor and Convention Bureau.
Over the next few weeks Newcastle and surrounding areas will play host to conferences as diverse as the 2010 Anglican Cursillo Movement Gathering ( 350-400 delegates), the 27th Annual Society of Architectural Historians of Australia and New Zealand (120 delegates) and the 2010 Equine Veterinarians Conference (200 delegates).
