Perth Convention Bureau announces new chairman

The Perth Convention Bureau (PCB) has named Kevin Skipworth CVO as its new chairman. Prior to his appointment with the PCB, Skipworth was the agent general for Western Australia in London, and also served the last five governors of the state as official secretary and chief executive officer of the Governor’s Establishment. Commenting on his latest role, Skipworth said he was “pleased to be joining PCB at a time when the business events sector is seen by governments as a key economic driver for their destinations, particularly in developing strong global trading, cultural and social links”. Skipworth replaces outgoing chairman Ian Laurance AM who elected to retire after seven years of service. 42K delegates bound for Syd ICESAP accreditation program Top biz events CEOS discuss state of play Crown pyramid set to debut Besydney’s $360m MICE pipeline New Intercontinental Syd ballroom CWT trend forecast Marriott APAC meetings offer ICC Sydney steps into the spotlight Space conference for Sydney Quake can’t shake Kiwi capital events Gold Coast scores Infinitus
