The comprehensive resource provides advice on everything leading up to an event, event delivery and sustainability, through to post-event activities, whilst highlighting the important link between events and tourism.
Tourism and Events Queensland (TEQ) recognises event organisers and organising committees can benefit from practical advice, guidance and tips on the organisation of an event or festival in Queensland, and we trust you will find the publication a most useful and valuable resource.

Every year, there are billions of dollars available in grants through different levels of government funding programs. The challenge for any business is firstly to find the right grant and secondly to successfully apply for funding.

The Grants Guide provides useful information on grants and how they can help your business. The Grants Guide also gives advice on how to search for the right grant, and how to write a great grant application.
