8 Sydney Conference Venues We’re Loving

Finding the perfect venue for your next conference can be like finding a needle in a haystack. We've done half the work for you, and shortlisted nine of our favourite Sydney conference venues. And if you need any extra inspiration, Sydney's filled with conference venues of all shapes and sizes (and we've got them all ready for you to peruse)

Conferences are one of those inevitable realities of a professional, adult life. They can be a great opportunity to expand networks, discuss and learn. They can also be really dull, often because of the location: a windowless room, with fluorescent lights and zero facilities. Chances are, you’ve been to a conference where your mind has wandered off... I wonder what I’d look like as a redhead? Maybe I’ll get a reuben for lunch. I wonder if the reuben sandwich was actually named after a guy named Reuben? And so on.

Avoid the brain drain, and book an amazing venue for your next conference in one of our favourite Sydney conference venues.

InterContinental Sydney
From the outside, the InterContinental Sydney looks like Netherfield Park from the 1996 BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. The opulence and beauty continues inside. And combined with all the latest mod cons, your conference will run far more smoothly than the first time Lizzie Bennett met Mr Darcy.

Pier One
If you’re hoping to host a conference that’s impressive and memorable, a good start would be holding it beneath an impressive and memorable structure. Pier One has a number of purpose built conference and meeting rooms that look upon the majestic Sydney Harbour Bridge. Be inspired...or barring that, give them something pretty to look at.

Rydges North Sydney
With sweeping views of the Harbour and plenty of natural light, you can host your next conference in the most relaxed of settings. Spend the day liaising and learning, supported by the latest AV equipment. Opt for the conference package that includes a lawn balls session to get ideas rolling...but only if you don’t have super competitive people attending. We don’t want a repeat of the volleyball incident of 2015.

NSW Parliament House
While NSW Parliament House has aged gracefully, it’s also had some serious work done. But rather than be full of fake curves, NSW Parliament House celebrates its beautiful history, while adding in some convenient mod cons. It’s the perfect spot to impart wisdom on the masses.

Primus Hotel
Everyone loves a bit of art deco architecture. There’s just something deeply romantic and aesthetically pleasing about it. The Primus Hotel in Sydney is a lovingly restored art deco hotel in the heart of the CBD. It’s only been open for 18 months, so it’s a hot new find for your next conference or seminar.

Coast Harbour Cruises
Sydney Harbour is one of the most beautifully scenic waterways in the world. So, what better place to host a conference or seminar in Sydney than onboard a boat? A boat that has a great sound system, flexible seating arrangements, wireless mic and TV. And while boats and conferences may not seem like an obvious pairing, they actually go together like fish and chips.

Australian National Maritime Museum

There are a range of impressive and purpose-built spaces with modern and high-end AV equipment to ensure your conference is smooth sailing. The best bit? It's located in the heart of Sydney. Water you waiting for?
