More than $6 million is expected to be injected in the WA economy with two international conferences heading to Perth in 2024.
The 49th International Conference on Infrared, Millimeter and Terahertz Waves will bring together some of the world’s top international researchers to discuss the evolution of the use of ultra-high frequencies (UHF) in areas such as health, environmental science, and telecommunication. It’s the first time the event has been held in Australia in 12 years.
Meanwhile, another 500 delegates are expected to attend the International Society for the Performing Arts (ISPA) Congress. This event brings together performing arts leaders from around the world to discover the next great idea, and strengthen relationships. The attendees include festival and production companies, artist managers, consultants, and government cultural leaders. This will be the first time the event has been held in Perth, after previously being held in Melbourne and Sydney.
Both conferences have been secured by Business Events Perth, which is funded by Tourism WA to attract business events to the State.
