Melbourne Convention + Visitors Bureau (MCVB) has won a bid to host Amway India’s Leadership Seminar for more than 4,000 delegates in Melbourne in 2012.
It will be the first time the event has been held in Australia.
Victoria’s minister for tourism and major events, Louise Asher, said that being the first choice Australian destination for the seminar was a triumph for the state.
“Importantly, this event will provide a unique opportunity for Victoria to grow our strong ties with the Indian community,†she said.
In 2008, Melbourne hosted 7,200 delegates from Amway China and prior to that, large Amway groups from the Philippines, Indonesia and Korea.
