How much will I pay to hire a meeting room in Darling Harbour?

When hiring a meeting room in Darling Harbour it is quite common to be charged a straight hire fee. You can book a room for approximately anywhere between $700 and $5,600 per session or per day. If you’re planning a short event, you can also hire a venue on an hourly basis, with fees usually ranging from $47 up to $360 per hour. These costs usually include only the space hire and use of on-site facilities, so you might have to face many additional costs.

How to host a successful meeting in Darling Harbour, Sydney?

A seamless, productive meeting consists of multiple elements; if one of them isn't taken care of, it won't be an overall success! If you want your next meeting to run smoothly, we suggest keeping the following in mind:

• The venue. Hiring the right space to host your event is key, but a few factors play into how good a meeting venue is. Make sure the seating layout is convenient for your type of gathering and the chairs will remain comfortable for the duration of the event. A modern room with air-conditioning and a lot of natural light is also preferable to ensure productivity. Finally, additional rooms at the venue are something to pay attention to - if there is a relaxed breakout room or an outdoor terrace with a view of Darling Harbour, organising a balanced meeting will be much easier!
• The equipment. Depending on what your meeting consists of and how many people are attending, you might need different kinds of audio-visual facilities, whiteboards, flip charts, and other amenities. You can make sure the meeting room includes all the necessary equipment by using our smart search filters to sort through these types of venues. We also suggest, if possible, to check beforehand that everything is working properly.
• The agenda. If your meeting is to run smoothly, you have to stay organised! Creating a good schedule and sticking to it will allow you to transition seamlessly between topics, include some much-needed breaks, and not  go into overtime. This way, the attendees will get the most out of the event.
• The follow-up. Depending on what the meeting was about, you might want to include different kinds of follow-ups: satisfaction surveys, presentation summaries, thank you emails, explanation of the next steps you’ll be taking, and more. Implementing one of these strategies will ensure the meeting has a lasting effect!
