With GEMS second office based in the Tweed region, we are eager to showcase the regions potential as a great business event destination. Surrounded by incredible natural beauty from the beaches to the tropical hinterlands, the Tweed offers a fantastic network of business events venues and suppliers that are committed to delivering your event seamlessly. Come and allow your delegates to immerse themselves in nature, experiencing delightful food, art and culture!

We were delighted to join in the Destination North Coast Business Events 'Cheers to Recovery' campaign, delivered in September 2020.

Over many years of managing conferences in major cities as well regional locations across Australia, our team has recognised the importance of generating a positive outcome for the communities within which we operate.

While the events we host may only be held for 1 – 5 days, there is a far-reaching impact of these events for local businesses and community groups and we endeavor to maximize that positive impact where possible.

Ways in which we can support the local communities, include:

• Engaging local businesses for the production of speaker gifts that are made locally
• Engaging local contractors and suppliers that support social responsibility practices within their own businesses and communities.
• Supporting venues that are community focused that provide jobs and opportunities within their communities.
• Offering delegates the opportunity to support local volunteer groups or, where appropriate, engage with industry related groups where their expertise could be greatly valued.

When we are engaged for an event and the destination has been announced. GEMS will work with the conference committee to identify ways in which the event can generate greater social and sustainable outcomes for the local community.
