INTRODUCING THE 2017 GUIDEWELCOME to the 2017 Business News Conference and Events Guide, an all-inclusive handbook showcasing some of the best venues Brisbane and the Gold Coast have to offer.
Whether a company is hosting an event for 25 staff members or a shareholders’ conference for thousands, it is imperative that the right venue is selected to ensure the occasion is a success.
From size, to feel, to tech, to view - there are so many variables to consider in order that the event is an overall success.
And it isn’t just big corporations that can benefit from holding an event or conference. Smaller local businesses can benefit from an external event that can generate interest in the brand itself.
No matter how large the business is, by taking employees
out of the office environment and treating them to a night of great company, food, and entertainment, the morale of the employees as well as their interpersonal skills will be greatly improved.
From as far north as Redcliffe, right down to the southernmost part of the Gold Coast, this guide offers a wide range of venues, spaces, and ballrooms to suit any need and every budget.
The event teams for each venue are more than capable of turning an idea into a reality. From catering, to décor, to entertainment, and even technological needs, the teams will take on your project and allow you to focus on enjoying the event.
Make sure your corporate event is a winner by selecting from the best in Business News Australia’s comprehensive guide to Conference, Meeting and Event Venues in 2016.

FOR RUNNING A SUCCESSFUL EVENTTOP 5 TIPS
1. GET IT ON SOCIAL MEDIA. EARLY.Whether you like it or not, social media has undoubtedly become the main driver of modern business marketing at a grassroots level.
The majority of your potential attendees will likely show more of an interest if they see your event pop up in their newsfeeds, as opposed to on a billboard, or in a magazine. Make it easy for your audience to see what you’re offering, well ahead of the date, and directly invite them to your booking system via marketing channels such as Facebook, Instagram or Twitter.
2. NAIL YOUR OFFERINGIf there’s one thing that’s certain, guests will only want to come to your event if you make it worth their while. You need to be clear about what you are offering and inspire your guests to make the effort to get dolled-up and out the door.
If it’s a business lunch, offer a networking opportunity with a noted leader in your industry. If it’s an awards night, invest in an exciting band or performer. If it’s a fundraiser, invite a local celebrity. Anything you can offer which goes above and beyond the normal expectations of your attendees will go a long way to putting tickets in their hands.
3. CHOOSE THE RIGHT PLACEPicking a good place for a shindig goes beyond simply meeting crowd size requirements. Make sure you scope out the style, location, efficiency and reviews of a venue before you choose it, because a place can look great on paper and turn out to be a dive.
Also consider extra factors, such as the amount of car parking spaces required, accommodation options and the impact that bad weather may have on your event.
4. SET THE MOOD PROPERLYPretend for a moment that you’re having a few friends over to your house. You uncork a bottle of wine, offer some nibbles, put on good music, kick off the conversation and most importantly focus on the fact that everyone is having a good time. Your company event should borrow some inspiration from the ‘dinner with friends’ setting, only on a grander scale with a tone of formality.
At no point do you want your guests to feel as if they’re bored, uncomfortable or being talked at incessantly. Keep the speeches snappy to give your guests some quality networking time. Remember: a successful event is held with the patron in mind, and a flop is held for the host.
5. WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS, HIRE A PROAlmost anyone can run an event, but running it well is a different game entirely. No matter how enthusiastic a manager could be about organising the next office Christmas party or AGM, they will always be time-poor compared to the professional who plans events for a living.
If you are struggling to nail down the concept for your party, enlist the services of a professional or rely on the advice of your prospective venue managers – that’s what they are there for!
What makes a great event? Is it the music, the food, the marketing, or a clever combination of the three and more?As an introduction to the 2017 Conference, Events & Meetings guide, Business News Australia has collated a few top tips from industry professionals who know a thing or two about generating interest (and holding it) at your event.

Queensland Cricketers’ Club (QC Club) has commenced work on a multi-million dollar refurbishment. The new design will make the most of the Club’s space and its iconic location overlooking the Gabba oval, while ensuring the Club’s future sustainability.
QC Club has been Brisbane’s premier place for lovers of sport to gather for more than 50 years; and recently it has expanded to become the Club of choice for people interested in premium dining, leisure activities and networking opportunities, as well as the city’s most unique function venue.
The design overhaul will see the entire Club – currently separated into two rooms – transformed into one 480sqm, open-plan space. The large bar in the centre of the main room will be moved to create a dramatically more open area and ensure that members and guests will enjoy
a spectacular, uninterrupted view of the stadium from everywhere inside in the Club.
With a total indoor capacity of 500 (more than double the current allowance), QC Club will be the ideal destination for large-scale and high-profile events.
And, with the option to separate the space into three rooms via partitioned operable walls that tuck away into hidden cabinets, the new-look QC Club will also be the perfect venue for corporate and private functions of all kinds, giving event planners total flexibility.
The fresh new look will mix luxury furnishings and an art-deco vibe with a contemporary palette to ensure a versatile space. With that million dollar view of The Gabba stadium, the QC Club will be the place to be seen in 2017!
