Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre (PCEC) has been named Australia’s Best Convention Centre at the 2026 World MICE Awards, a recognition determined through public voting and celebrating excellence across the meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions (MICE) industry.

The award recognises the people, partnerships and experiences that continue to make PCEC a venue of choice for event organisers, delegates and visitors from around Australia and beyond.

As Western Australia’s flagship convention and exhibition venue, PCEC plays an integral role in the state’s business events landscape, welcoming conferences, exhibitions, gala dinners, community events and experiences that bring people together, attract visitors and contribute to the local economy.

General Manager Kendra Naidoo said the recognition reflected the dedication of the people behind every event and interaction across the venue.

“This award belongs to our team. Every day, our people create moments that matter for our clients, delegates, visitors, partners and each other.”

“Whether it’s a major international conference, an industry exhibition, a community event or a gala dinner, our team approaches every event with professionalism, care and genuine commitment to delivering exceptional experiences.”

“To receive a public-voted award is particularly meaningful because it reflects the experiences people have had within our venue and our team. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who took the time to support us.”

PCEC’s reputation has been built on long-standing client relationships and a strong repeat business rate, with many organisers returning year after year because of the quality of service, collaboration and expertise delivered by teams across the venue.

For PCEC, success is measured not only by the events hosted within its walls, but by the impact those events create for clients, industries, communities and Western Australia.

The recognition comes at a time when business events continue to play an important role in driving knowledge exchange, supporting local businesses and showcasing Western Australia as a destination for national and international events.

Naidoo said the award was a celebration of every team member who contributes to the guest experience. “Awards like this are earned by the people who make experiences memorable.”

“This recognition reflects the passion, commitment and expertise of our entire team and the trust our clients place in us. We are proud to play a role in supporting the business events industry and creating positive outcomes for Western Australia”

PCEC extends its thanks to its clients, partners, visitors and supporters who voted in the World MICE Awards and continue to champion Western Australia’s business events sector.
