The Gold Coast is rolling out the gold carpet once again, welcoming event organisers back for the return of Experience Gold Coast’s signature business events famil, This Is Gold Coast (TIGC26), running from 3–6 August.
Now in its 12th year, TIGC26 will bring together more than 65 business event organisers and decision-makers from across Australia and Asia Pacific for a creatively curated multi-day program showcasing the Gold Coast’s world-class venues, immersive experiences and thriving destination appeal.

At the heart of this year’s program is a full-day business exchange at Sea World Resort Conference Centre, giving delegates the chance to connect with more than 35 industry partners through scheduled appointments, along with exclusive networking events and curated activations designed to spark new business opportunities.
Beyond the boardroom, delegates will get a taste of the Gold Coast’s newest venues and attractions. From an immersive dinner under the stars at Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, to a lunch with a view at Valentina, overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
Together, the program offers a compelling showcase of why the Gold Coast continues to cement its reputation as one of Australia’s premier business events destinations.
Where inspiration, innovation and experience meet.

“The site visits, networking opportunities, and immersive experiences provided invaluable insights, not only into the city’s capacity to host impactful events but also into the warm and professional community that drives them. I left with new connections, fresh ideas, and a deep appreciation for the Gold Coast as a premier destination for business events. A truly worthwhile and inspiring experience.”
