You'll find conference venues in various sizes, from smaller spots to larger venues; keep in mind that the type of space and your chosen layout will affect the capacity! Below you can see the typical venue sizes in Melbourne CBD, together with the standard prices in each size range, based on Tagvenue data (December 2025):

Medium between 50 and 100 guests prices average $900 hire fee per day
Large over 110 guests prices average $3500 minimum spend per event

Conferences take a lot of planning. Depending on the size of your event you should book your venue anywhere from a year to 6 months before the event. We recommend starting as soon as possible as there are many things to organise when holding a conference whether it is for 1,000 or 100 delegates. Always give yourself enough time to choose the venue that suits you best and that can support you in your efforts. Hotels are a particularly useful sort of conference venue, as they are well used to carrying out large events, have most of the equipment and catering on site and can also offer your guests the convenience of a nearby place to stay.
