What are the types of seminar venues in Perth?

When planning your seminar in Perth, the city offers various venue types to suit different needs and preferences. Here are some popular types of seminar venues in Perth to consider:

Conference Centres

Conference centres are the best place to organise seminars, particularly big ones. Conference centres are specifically made for corporate events, with meeting rooms that are fully equipped, the latest audiovisual equipment, and enough space for networking and break-out sessions. Some conference centres in Perth also provide extra services like catering, event management, and technical support.

Hotels with Meeting Facilities

Hotels also usually offer flexible rooms that can quickly be adapted to meet the particular requirements of a seminar. The key benefit of a hotel in Perth is convenience: the out-of-town delegates have the option to stay on-site, and organisers can benefit from package deals that may include accommodation, meals, and venue booking. Most hotels have rooms of various sizes available, ranging from boardrooms to spacious ballrooms so that they can be an adaptable choice for seminars of different sizes.

Coworking Spaces and Serviced Offices

Coworking spaces and serviced offices are popular venues for seminars, especially for small groups. They offer facilities such as quick internet, sound systems, and even whiteboards, which can help lead to more participation in your seminar. Most coworking spaces also offer flexible booking options, so you can lease a room by the hour, half-day, or full-day, depending on how long your seminar will last. This flexibility allows you to better maximise costs and avoid incurring unnecessary costs, especially for short events.

How much do seminar venues in Perth cost?

The cost of hiring a seminar venue in Perth can vary widely based on several factors, including the type of venue, its location, the time of booking, and the additional services provided. Renting a space can range from AUD 55 to AUD 85 per person, depending on the size of the venue and the amenities included. The price generally includes standard AV equipment and on-site technical assistance. Additional fees for catering, advanced audiovisual setups, or extended booking hours might be incurred.

What should I look for in a seminar venue?

When choosing a seminar venue, it is important to consider factors that will contribute to the overall experience for everyone. These are some of the important aspects to look for:

Location and Accessibility

Select a venue that is centrally located and accessible either by public transportation or has adequate parking facilities. This will provide easy access to visitors from different areas of the city or those from outside Perth. A venue close to hotels, dining, and recreational activities can also be an additional advantage, making it all the more appealing for your visitors.

Capacity and Layout

Ensure the venue is able to host your anticipated number of attendees comfortably. Look at the room layout options and whether these can be rearranged to fit the structure of your seminar, e.g., theatre for presentations or clusters for group work. We suggest ensuring the venue offers flexible seating arrangements that will accommodate interactive sessions and presentations. Also, make sure to check the maximum and minimum capacities of any possible space so that you're not overcrowded or left with huge empty spaces.

Audiovisual Capabilities

Presentations, videos, and other digital materials may be used during your seminars, so it's essential to have good audiovisual equipment. Ensure the venue offers you the required technology, i.e., projectors, screens, sound equipment, and microphones. Ensure the venue has technical support available at your event to resolve any technical issues.

It is crucial to check if the venue's equipment is compatible with your presentation media and devices. Also, pay attention to the quality and clarity of sound and visuals, particularly when working with large audiences or complicated setups.

AV Equipment Tips for a Seamless Event Experience

Internet Connectivity

Reliable internet connectivity is a must! Check if the venue offers high-speed Wi-Fi and whether there are enough connections to accommodate all attendees, especially if your seminar involves interactive online elements or virtual attendees. It's also helpful to inquire about backup connectivity solutions in case of any network disruptions.

Catering Services

When choosing a venue, it's also important to look at the catering facilities available. Find out whether the venue provides in-house catering or permits outside caterers. In-house catering can make logistics easier and assure quality, but outside caterers could offer greater flexibility when it comes to menu choices and cost. Also, determine if you will offer snacks, full meals, or only drinks based on the length and timing of the seminar. Morning seminars may only require coffee, tea, and light snacks, but all-day seminars usually require lunch and several refreshment breaks.
