FAQs about Conference Rooms in Melbourne

What areas have conference rooms for hire in Melbourne?

You can find a lot of workspaces for hire in the city but a few key areas have excellent options for your professional needs.

• The Central Business District (CBD) offers an extensive selection of conference rooms in various sizes and styles, conveniently located near public transport. However, it is an expensive area, and booking a room can be challenging due to high demand.
• South Yarra and Prahran are stylish and trendy areas with a variety of modern conference rooms. Close to the CBD, these areas also boast a good selection of restaurants and bars for pre- or post-conference activities. However, parking can be difficult to find.
• St Kilda has conference rooms with beach views and numerous nearby team-building activities. While the scenic location is attractive, conference room availability is limited, making it challenging to find a suitable venue. Additionally, St Kilda is outside the city centre.
• Docklands features plenty of modern and spacious conference rooms with waterfront views, including large venues suitable for big conferences. Despite the beautiful setting, this area may be less convenient for public transport access.
• Richmond is an up-and-coming area with trendy conference rooms and co-working spaces, often more affordable than those in the CBD. However, the selection of conference rooms is more limited compared to the CBD.

Is AV equipment included in the hire fee for conference rooms in Melbourne?

AV equipment inclusion in the hire fee for conference rooms in Melbourne is not guaranteed and can vary depending on several factors:

• High-end conference centres often include basic AV equipment (projector, screen) in the room rental fee but might charge extra for more advanced setups (multiple microphones, sound systems).
• Hotels might include basic equipment with fancier setups requiring additional rental fees.
• Community centres or co-working spaces might have limited or no AV equipment included, requiring you to rent it separately.

Some venues offer conference room packages that include AV equipment, catering, and other services at a bundled price. This can be a good option if you need all these services. Depending on the venue and your booking flexibility, there might be some room for negotiation on the AV equipment rental fee.
