Conference & Conventions
Conventions tend to be more formal meetings of members, representatives, or
delegates of a particular profession or industry. Conferences however are usually less formal
gatherings for consultation or the discussion of issues or ideas.
These events provide for the greatest flexibility for business or social activates,
however hectic the schedule. They will usually include over time, a range of room configurations
and set ups, food and beverage service and accommodation as well for attendees. Common extras
are inclusive food and beverage packages, group transport or activities, or business centre
services.
Conferences and Conventions tend to require up to the largest rooms, and are
attended by larger groups. They require more notice of booking and often are planned well in
advance. As these events are more comprehensively catered for, they require a higher attention
to detail. Dedicated staff are on hand to assist you in managing your needs.

Seminars
Meeting Rooms are for any business or personal gathering, when you may just
need the venue to hire. Usually meeting rooms are used without needing services or equipment,
but often feature simple inclusions such as pads and paper, mints and water. Available with
your meeting room hire may be a range of seating configurations and standard audio visual equipment
such as whiteboard and microphone. Food and beverage catering of course can be included.
A morning or afternoon tea break-out, or quick lunch of finger food will always
help to make sure attendees get the most from the event. So whether its a corporate or residential
presentation, a lecture or social function, for any size group we can help you will can find
a range of options to suit.
Training
Training Room set ups are generally used for industry seminars, training courses
or product presentations. You would require not only the venue, but may need some equipment
for presentations and practising, but not all extras. A range of functions spaces are available
for your event, whether you need theatre style seating or boardroom seating, or staging equipment
for your presentation.
Consider what audio visual equipment you might like, and what seating is appropriate,
whether you need chairs and tables only, an overhead projector, whiteboard, microphones or full
AV presentation with smoke and lasers. Or, you may only need the privacy of somewhere to demonstrate
your new product.

Banquets
A banquet is a ceremonial dinner honouring a particular guest or occasion.
So for everything from Christmas parties to formal presentation dinners, or even school reunions
you will find something suitable. Banquet services will include food and beverage. If its for
a intimate group of local residents, or a large gathering of members or an awards ceremony,
your banquet can be anything from discrete and stylish to large and lavish.
Rates quoted for this manner of function are usually given as a per head food
and/or beverage package, which may then include the cost of the venue. Or, in addition to a
room hire fee you may personalise a menu to suit. Of course, other spaces can be added to cater
for pre-dinner drinks or cocktail hour, or for periodic break-outs during your banquet.
Parties / Ballrooms
Whether its a high society function or office Christmas party in the Grand
Ballroom, or intimate cocktail party for a special occasion these events allow you to cater
for any size of group, and where you can really put on the Ritz. For functions of a more social
nature than a formal banquet, Ballrooms and Suites for parties and special events give you the
greatest range of services to impress.
Usually no hotel or apartments, willingly allow gatherings to occur in their
accommodation rooms or suites. The party you wouldn't dare host at home, hotels don't want either.
Specific venues and rooms are available which may cater for this kind of event, and for which
you are responsible. You may require event security, open service of food and beverage, or limiting
the service such as no alcohol (for minors).
