Details of the city and the surrounding region The Adelaide is the capital city of the South Australia and it is the fifth most populous city within Australia. The city is surrounded with some exotic beauty and scenery, which attracts more travellers and a high educational opportunity, helps the students to attract and come to the different country (Ritchie and Crouch 2003). Due to the several of people and individuals in the city, it creates more cross cultural collaboration in the nation and it attracts more investors and businesses to the city. By the help of effective growth of the state and the city, the organisation like OSGeo wants to deliver their meeting and conferences in that region to attract more buyers in their business process (Elliot and Madison 1941). The organisation is a non profitable organisation. The main mission of the organisation is to create awareness and leanings for the students (Mina 2000). To attract more people and delegates in their business, the management of OSGeo finds Adelaide can be the best s uitable place for making the conferences. Adelaide is the vibrant and the cultural capital of Australia. To gather some relevant data and information about the geospatial and cross cultural, the organisation like OSGeo finds that will be the best suitable place for them and it attracts more people for their business. Due to the effective combination of the exceptional food, wine with art, culture, shopping and well balanced atmosphere and weather that can be the ideal place for making the conference for the OSGeo. The Adelaide Oval is a globally-renowned, world-class location, home to most important sport experiences and amusement from all around the world. Response to the buyers requirement To conduct the conferences the organising committee needs to aware about the venue and the conference room size before conducting the conference process. Due to the well cultural balanced and highly known place the organisation can easily conduct the conferences in Adelaide (Mina 2002). The fantastic weather and the highly renowned place attract the delegates to attain the seminar and the conference. To conduct the conference by the OSGeo the organisation needs to obtain a well schedule before taking some initiatives on their conference planning. The organisation needs to aware about the number of delegates and their hospitality facilities in the city (Nelson and Economy 1995). The conference place needs to be more technical upgraded for the betterment of the conference outcomes otherwise the relevant data and information cannot be shared properly towards the buyers. To attract more buyers in their business or in their conferences, the food beverages and hospitality requirement is qu ite important factor for the OSGeo to attract them well and aware them about their plans and procedures. To conduct the conference in south Australia the organisation needs to aware about the number of present delegates in the conference and number of rooms within the conference centre. It has been observed that to meet the desired outcomes of the conference the organisation invites almost 350 delegates in their business and most of the delegates came from different universities and schools from Australia. To make better facilities and awareness about the information in the conference centre one Ballroom with executive Boardroom has been attached. Within the Conference room to make better facilities for the conference the management uses Internet and Wi-Fi technology. To make better presentation for the conference projector technology is quite significant in this business process. To attend workshop for the delegates the management used the pre functional area as a workshop place in the conference centre. To make the conference effective in their business process different small scale a nd large scale organisation sponsors the program for the betterment of the society like as Ordnance Survey, GEOCAT, Camp to Camp etc. Conference 2016-2017 Budget Expenses Amount (AUD) Accommodation For Delegates 1013 Venue Rental 1420 Decoration 200 Food 2000 Security 125 Travel 150 Event Insurance 60 Technology 45 Marketing 120 Photography 60 Others 40 Total 5233 Conclusion To make some destination marketing of their business process, the organisation needs to aware about the proper marketing mix tools in their business process.

Reflective As a member of OSGeo non profitable organisation I have to assess the best suitable place for conducting the conference which can be benefited for the individuals and students. By analysing the surroundings and the place of conducting the conferences I have to make some invitation of the delegates according to that. To conduct a global level conference about the geospatial information I have to understand the proper location of the conferences and I have to analyse the cross cultural aspects in the business process which can be benefited for the organisations point of view. Bidding process is quite significant for any business process to grab some opportunities from the government. To make the best bid in the business I need to be more strategic and less profitable in the business. Better brand image also attracts the organisation to grab more tenders in their trade. To attract more people and delegates in the conferences I need to be more strategic about the destination marketing. References Elliot, Jonathan and James Madison. 1941.
