The survey, known as the Apex Awards, is conducted annually by the Brussels-based International Association of Congress
Centres (AIPC).
BCEC was one of 19 international finalists,
which was won by Centre des Congres de Quebec in Quebec, Canada.
BCEC general manager Robert O'Keeffe said:
"This honour demonstrates the centre's consistent high performance levels and supports the centre's outstanding achievements.
"Our national and international business continues
to increase from year to year and to contribute
exponentially to the economic benefit of Brisbane
and Queensland."
AIPC president Barbara Maple said: "This report is
part of our addressing AIPC's overall mission of
enhancing excellence in centre management, and
an equally important outcome of the evaluation."
Based in Brussels, AIPC is a non-profit organisation
whose members include 149 of the world's leading
meeting facilities in 53 countries around the world.
Its survey is conducted exclusively on research
with the clients of each participating centre.
