The team at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre have won 17 awards over the last five years of operation. In 2007 the centre was inducted into the prestigious Meetings and Events Industry Awards Hall of Fame in the category of “National Meeting Venue, more than 500 Delegates”. This is a notoriously difficult and competitive award to receive and is a true testament to the difference that is delivered at the centre.
