Business Events Summit

FACTS, 25 & 26 November 2026, ICC Sydney

The Business Events Summit is a leading business events conference for professionals responsible for planning, managing and delivering corporate meetings, conferences and incentive programs.

Business events play a critical role in driving collaboration, innovation and commercial growth. However, organisations are increasingly demanding measurable outcomes from events rather than simply strong attendance or delegate satisfaction.

The Business Events Summit explores how meetings and events can deliver real business impact through strategic design, creative experiences and smarter measurement.

Hosted as part of FACTS, the summit connects corporate event leaders with destinations, venues, suppliers and technology innovators shaping the future of the meetings and events industry.

The Business Events Summit runs concurrently with the Corporate Travel Summit, Aviation Futures Summit, Travel Payments Summit and Points & Loyalty Summit as part of FACTS 2026, giving delegates the flexibility to build a personalised learning agenda and explore insights across all five industry summits.

Key themes for 2026

The summit will explore the major forces redefining corporate meetings and events.

The ROI reset: proving business outcomes, not just attendance and satisfaction.
Experience-led design: creativity, storytelling and emotion as measurable value drivers.
