Our Services
MCVB’s primary activity is bidding for international business events. Bids can take two to five years to complete and require a wide range of skills to be successful. These include strategic planning and organisational skills, leadership, creativity, lobbying and presentation skills. The ability to build strong partnerships with clients is also vital.
More specifically, convention bidding activities include:
- Researching and qualifying Business Events leads
- Securing local hosts for international bids
- Preparing bid strategies and critical paths
- Coordinating and managing bid lobbying and promotion
- Preparing and submitting bid documents
- Preparing competitive analysis
- Preparing and organizing bid presentation material
- Attending national and international bid presentations
- Liaising with government and industry to secure support as required
- Arranging and conducting site inspections for key decisions makers
Our services continue after the event is secured for Melbourne. MCVB improves the success of business events held in Melbourne by working closely with Professional Conference Organisers (PCOs) or alternatively direct with our clients. We provide assistance with increasing delegate numbers, pre and post touring options, collateral or promotional requirements, on-site support such as ‘Melbourne welcome’ activities, banners and signage, letters, receptions, speeches and airport assistance.
MCVB has the expertise and tools to aid you in your bid for national or international conferences, events and incentives.
