It is my pleasure to welcome you to ATEC Meeting Place, a wonderful opportunity to immerse yourself in the Cairns local culture and community, and hopefully explore some of the superb tourism experiences on offer here in the Cairns & Great Barrier Reef region. 

Events like ATEC Meeting Place play an important role in bringing together visitors and local communities to create a shared sense of community pride through meaningful and transformational experiences. 

The Queensland Government is proud to support ATEC Meeting Place through Tourism and Events Queensland.

Much of the economic benefit events like this bring to the state, flows to regional areas and other industries such as retail, transport and agriculture, which stimulates the local economy and supports local jobs.

Congratulations to the event organisers and all those involved in organising this event – may it be a successful one.

If you are visiting for the event, I encourage you to make the most of your stay by exploring the diverse tourism experiences on offer in this beautiful region and supporting local businesses.
