Your Guide to Hiring Unique Conference Venues in Sydney

You’ll be amazed by the broad range of unconventional venues that still offer state of the art conference facilities in Sydney. From intimate spaces that are perfect for small meetings to large halls that can fit thousands, the possibilities seem almost endless! Browsing through your options  might seem overwhelming and organising a conference is certainly no easy task, but that’s precisely where we can help! Why not check out these important tips that can help ensure that you make the right choice when choosing for a unique conference venue:

  • Make sure the venue fits your requirements. It’s easy to get carried away when checking out all the vibrant and quirky spots available for hire in Sydney, but keep in mind that the venue has a role to fulfil! The space you’re going for has to be functional, so don’t forget to check the facilities and the capacity of the event space.
  • Don’t forget about the food and drinks. Not all venues offer in-house catering, so if you want to narrow the results down to those that do, use our smart filters. Some options include complimentary drinks and/or snacks. In other cases, you simply have to take care of it by yourself.
  • Choose a convenient location. Even the most fun space is useless if no one can actually get there! Using our map feature, you can make sure the venue is situated in an accessible area, for instance near major transport links. Ample parking space near the venue is also a big advantage. If some of your delegates are coming from out of town, it might be a good idea to look for conference venues near the airport.
  • Use the unique features to your advantage. Don’t just enjoy how quirky and fresh the space looks, see how you can utilise its features to make your conference more engaging! Unconventional breakout areas, equipment that allows the attendees to unleash their creativity, or an interesting room layout are all features that can help your conference to become even more memorable and productive!

FAQs about Unique Conference Venues in Sydney

Why hire a unique conference venue in Sydney?

Hiring a unique venue for your conference has many advantages. We love a good, fresh and quirky setting, so you don’t have to ask twice! Here are some of the top reasons why choosing a unique conference venue is the right decision:

  • It creates a strong impression. You want the conference to be imprinted in the attendees’ minds for a long time, right? This can encourage them to come back for subsequent editions, spread the word about your event, and encourage others to join. There’s no better way to achieve this than to positively surprise attendees with your venue choice!
  • It fuels creativity and productivity. The best ideas and brainstorming sessions take place in unique spaces! Unique conference venues often have a vibrant design with interesting layouts that allow both you and the attendees to think outside the box. Additionally, a fun and fresh breakout area allows everyone to clear their mind more effectively during breaks and, as a result, do their tasks better.
  • It saves you some of the work. When using a bland, typical conference room, you often have to struggle to make it fit  the structure and atmosphere of your conference. If you choose a unique option that fits your theme, though, that issue is quickly eliminated!

What kinds of unique venues can I host a conference in?

Sydney is home to a wide selection of unique conference venues of all kinds and sizes. Some of them include:

  • Boats. When organising a conference in Sydney, it would be a pity to not use the Harbour’s full potential! Hosting the event on a luxury yacht or a glass boat is sure to wow your guests and create a stunning backdrop for your conference. Some boats that allow you to host conferences include the Bella Vista and the Sydney Pearl.
  • Private bars. Whether it be a separate room or an exclusive hire, bar spaces are a great way to make your conference a bit more fresh and laid-back. Sydney is rich in bars and pubs that offer conferencing features, including The Sporting Globe King Street Wharf and the Lounge Bar at Greenwood Hotel.
  • Cinemas and screening rooms. Large screens, comfortable seats, drinks and snacks that are easily available. Is there anything else you could ask for? They are great for presentations and discussions alike! Venues like this that you can hire for a conference in Sydney include the Golden Age Cinema and the Screening Room at QT Sydney.
  • Outdoor spaces. Fresh air makes your brain work better, it’s a fact! Outdoor conference venues are a great option for being productive while enjoying the Aussie sunshine and beautiful views. Check out the First Floor at Bustle Studios for smaller events or the Eastenders Banquet Hall when your guest list is a bit longer.
