Top Tips for Organising a Successful Corporate Event

What types of Canberra meeting rooms are the most popular?

Planning a corporate meeting in Canberra? Not to worry! There is a wide range of meeting rooms and flexible function venues to choose from. These are some of the best types of venues for meetings and other corporate events in Canberra:

Hotel meeting rooms

Hotel meeting rooms provide an intimate setting for meetings and events. These function spaces are the perfect space for small groups and are especially good for strategic planning sessions or client entertaining. With onsite catering, a dedicated events team, event packages, a wide range of meeting spaces and conference facilities, and state-of-the-art audiovisual equipment, hotel meeting rooms in Canberra offer convenience and professionalism.

Elevate Your Event with the Right Catering Options

Conference centres

Hotel conference centres offer extensive facilities, often including large ballrooms, boardrooms and exhibition spaces to enable multiple functions to be held simultaneously. This means that these versatile spaces can cater for larger corporate events such as training seminars, cocktail events, product launches, networking functions and conferences. Your event requirements can be easily met at a conference centre in Canberra. These venues are designed to accommodate a wide range of events and can adapt to suit your specific needs.

Restaurants

Restaurants are great for social and networking events or even just a simple business lunch. They provide a unique, casual setting for individuals to meet up and discuss new business ideas over drinks and food. The dining options at restaurants in Canberra are diverse and cater to a variety of tastes and dietary requirements. Delicious food is always a major draw when it comes to choosing a restaurant for a meeting in Canberra.

Local Canberra bars

For those who prefer an informal gathering, local Canberra bars offer novel options such as beer gardens to soak up some rays in the summertime or comfy lounge settings when it's cooler. Bars also often have entertainment on the weekends, which means that they can be used not only as meeting rooms but also for team-building activities or birthday parties!

Function centres

An alternative to hotels, function centres provide more of an event-focused environment rather than rooms simply designed to accommodate individual meetings. They generally require larger catering orders compared with hotels, but there are more options available and they often come with entertainment, from live music to comedians. They're also spaces that can be highly customised, allowing for corporate branding or decorations.

Coworking spaces

Coworking spaces are a relatively new option for businesses in need of meeting room space. They provide members with access to modern, collaborative workspaces complete with the latest technology. This type of venue is perfect for start-ups, small businesses or freelancers who need a flexible and affordable work environment. You can book these venues for half-day or full-day use, and some even offer hourly rates.

Cafes

Cafes make great meeting rooms for small groups, especially if you just need a space to catch up over coffee. They provide a relaxed and comfortable setting, and there are often food and drink options available if you need to refuel during or after your meeting. Your private function can be held in a cozy corner of a local cafe, allowing for a more intimate and casual atmosphere.

Boardrooms

Boardrooms are a traditional meeting room option that is still popular for board meetings and training sessions. They are usually located within an office building or a corporate setting, and they come equipped with all the necessary technology and facilities. With natural light, exceptional conference spaces, and modern furnishings, boardrooms offer a professional and sophisticated setting for meetings and corporate functions.
