ABOUT BUMPER

About Bumper

Conference specialists. People people.

Bumper is an Australian Professional Conference Organiser (PCO) partnering with associations, companies and organisations to plan and deliver conferences across Australia and New Zealand.

Based in Melbourne, we bring more than two decades of conference management experience to every project, combining strategic thinking, hands-on expertise and a genuine love of bringing people together.

Because great conferences take more than good planning. They take experienced people who know what to look for, what to ask and how to bring all the moving parts together.

Out Story

Conferences are what we do — and have been for more than two decades.

Bumper’s story began in the early 2000s as BCC Management, with a focus on helping associations and organisations create and deliver great conferences.

In 2018, the business entered a new chapter under new ownership, building on the experience and relationships established over many years while continuing to evolve the conferences we deliver and the way we work.

In 2024, BCC Management became Bumper Conference Management.

A new name, but the same specialisation at our core.

Today, Bumper is an Australian PCO managing conferences across Australia and New Zealand for associations, companies and organisations looking for an experienced conference partner.

WHY BUMPER

Experience you can count on.

There are hundreds of decisions behind every successful conference. Experience helps you know which ones matter most.

We’ve planned and delivered more than 100 conferences across different industries, audiences, formats and destinations — managing everything from strategy, budgets and venues to registration, sponsorship, exhibitions, programs, speakers and onsite delivery.

That experience means we know when to look ahead, when to ask another question and when something needs attention before it becomes a problem.

But being a great conference partner isn’t just about knowing how to run a conference.

It’s about making the process easier for the people we work with.

We become an extension of your team — bringing structure when things are complex, advice when decisions need to be made and experienced hands when there’s a lot happening at once.
