How to Book

Organising a successful conference or event is not easy, as there are numerous factors to consider. To assist you, we have designed a basic checklist to ensure the success of your event.

Please consider the following options before booking.

Date and Time
Select a date, time and duration for the Conference
When selecting a date, be sure to leave yourself, attendees and presenters enough time to plan ahead for the conference.
Our conference and function centre gets booked ahead well in advance, so you may not have many choices if leaving it too late.

Attendees
Identify who will be the intended audience of the conference, how many will be attending and from how far they have to travel
to the conference. Are there any special requirements attendees will require to access the conference e.g. wheelchair access.

Conference Venue / Conference Facilities
Preparing a check list of the conference facilities and requirements before choosing one of our 4 conference rooms.

The function areas are well equipped and are flexible to allow arrangement to suit your specific needs.
