Hiring a unique venue for your conference has many advantages. We love a good, fresh and quirky setting, so you don’t have to ask twice! Here are some of the top reasons why choosing a unique conference venue is the right decision:

• It creates a strong impression. You want the conference to be imprinted in the attendees’ minds for a long time, right? This can encourage them to come back for subsequent editions, spread the word about your event, and encourage others to join. There’s no better way to achieve this than to positively surprise attendees with your venue choice!
• It fuels creativity and productivity. The best ideas and brainstorming sessions take place in unique spaces! Unique conference venues often have a vibrant design with interesting layouts that allow both you and the attendees to think outside the box. Additionally, a fun and fresh breakout area allows everyone to clear their mind more effectively during breaks and, as a result, do their tasks better.
• It saves you some of the work. When using a bland, typical conference room, you often have to struggle to make it fit  the structure and atmosphere of your conference. If you choose a unique option that fits your theme, though, that issue is quickly eliminated!

Sydney is home to a wide selection of unique conference venues of all kinds and sizes. Some of them include:

• Boats. When organising a conference in Sydney, it would be a pity to not use the Harbour’s full potential! Hosting the event on a luxury yacht or a glass boat is sure to wow your guests and create a stunning backdrop for your conference. Some boats that allow you to host conferences include the Bella Vista and the Sydney Pearl.
• Private bars. Whether it be a separate room or an exclusive hire, bar spaces are a great way to make your conference a bit more fresh and laid-back. Sydney is rich in bars and pubs that offer conferencing features, including The Sporting Globe King Street Wharf and the Lounge Bar at Greenwood Hotel.
• Cinemas and screening rooms. Large screens, comfortable seats, drinks and snacks that are easily available. Is there anything else you could ask for? They are great for presentations and discussions alike! Venues like this that you can hire for a conference in Sydney include the Golden Age Cinema and the Screening Room at QT Sydney.
• Outdoor spaces. Fresh air makes your brain work better, it’s a fact! Outdoor conference venues are a great option for being productive while enjoying the Aussie sunshine and beautiful views.
