Make your conference your next holiday destination in Australia

There are several factors to consider when selecting your conference destination. From standard specifications like the number of rooms and delegate capacity, through to accessibility to offsite locations and attendee experiences, Australia has a vast number of venues and Elevate has experienced many of them! 

Australia has countless beautiful locations, which is one of the reasons national and international companies choose to host their conferences here. Australia’s varied landscapes; from beaches to wine regions to heritage-listed parks to contemporary urban spaces, all create unique experiences for your delegates.

Elevate has tried and tested many destinations across Australia for conferences and events, and listed below are just a few of our favourites!

Gold Coast
Known for its long sandy beaches, impressive surf and beautiful weather, the Gold Coast should not be overlooked. With the 2018 Commonwealth Games only a year away, the Gold Coast has seen extensive new developments and refurbishments over the last 18 months. Offering several options for large conferences, this entertaining city is an ideal destination for your conference. With offsite venues such as Stradbroke Island or the many theme parks, it’s not hard to find something fun and quirky to treat your delegates to for a different style of entertainment.

South Australia
Another great destination for corporate conferences is Adelaide and the wider South Australian region. Adelaide is on the rise to conquering the conference world, with the recent expansions of the Adelaide Convention Centre and new venues such as Sofitel, Sheraton and Langham to open in the next couple of years. Adelaide is not lacking in function spaces or remarkable sights with its world-renowned vineyards and amazing local produce. Why not immerse delegates’ senses in outstanding food and palatable beverages by enjoying wine tasting or a table spread gathered from local produce, which would take team-building activities to a new level.

Outside Capital Cities
Venturing to destinations outside capital cities, such as the Sunshine Coast in Queensland or Hunter Valley in New South Wales is also highly recommended. These venues not only have outstanding scenery to behold, but top-of-the-range conference spaces and accommodation, and are the epitome of relaxation. Elevate has also coordinated conferences in tropical North Queensland which provides a laid-back style conference away from the hustle and bustle of cities.

Not to be outdone, Elevate also works with some fantastic venues in major capital cities, including but not limited to Park Royal, Intercontinental, Sheraton on the Park and Grand Hyatt in Sydney; as well as Pullman, The Rialto and Crown in Melbourne. The Elevate events team also has strong relationships with Perth venues including Esplanade, Rendezvous, Novotel Vines and Crown, as well as an extensive array of venues in our own backyard in Brisbane.

If you do want to stretch your legs and look beyond Australia, Elevate also manages conferences in New Zealand, Fiji, Malaysia, Bali and Hawaii. Speak with the Elevate events team now on (07) 3180 3666 to determine the most suitable venue for your conference!
