What should I consider when looking for a Darwin meeting room?

There are a few things you should consider when hiring meeting rooms and conference venues for your next board meetings. Read more about on how to plan a memorable corporate event here.

Remember to take note of the following:

Location

Choose an area in Darwin City that's easier for your guests to get to. Find a meeting room that's easily accessible by car and public transport. You should also consider the venue's proximity to hotels and other accommodations if there's someone from outside Darwin NT who's attending the meeting.

It's also a good idea to avoid times when traffic is heavier so that moving around won't increase attendees' stress levels before the event starts. If you wish for the team to socialise a bit, you should find a place that's a short walk to a restaurant, cafe or pub.

Size

The next thing you'll want to consider is the size of the meeting room. Make sure that it can comfortably accommodate all the attendees, as well as any AV equipment you might need for presentations.

If you're expecting a lot of people, you should opt for a larger space. But if it's just a small team meeting, then a smaller room would suffice.

Price

Of course, you'll also want to consider the price when hiring meeting rooms and conference venues in Darwin. Make sure that the rate is within your budget so that you don't end up spending too much on the event space.

Capacity

When you're choosing a venue, it's important to know how many people are attending and the capacity of the meeting room. It would be better if the meeting or conference room is larger than what you really need to give your team more space to move around.

Facilities

Find out if the meeting room has the latest technology, high-speed wifi and audio-visual equipment like TVs, projector screens, microphones and loudspeakers. You also want the attendees to be comfortable so they can focus on the meeting. Make sure the venue has all the features you need such as proper air conditioning and coffee-making facilities.

Duration

Do you need the meeting room for a full day, half-day or just a few hours? Typically event venues with meeting rooms will offer a discount to the hourly rate if you require full-day hire so be sure to ask if they are flexible.

Event Catering

Be sure to ask what catering options are available, and whether the venue offers in-house catering services, has a catering partner or offers BYO. Flexible catering options are important for a successful meeting or conference. It's essential to have access to food and beverages to keep attendees energised and focused throughout the event.

Business hours

If your team stays in the city late and you're planning to host a dinner meeting, choose a place that's open at night. Your attendees would love spending time with each other whilst enjoying famous Darwin local cuisine.
