KEYNOTE SPEAKERS
MELBOURNE
Victoria’s capital is as famous for its sports, café-culture, and parks as it is for being a business hub. From Federation Square to the Docklands, St Kilda to Southbank, the city is flush with conference centres and event spaces. Combining an easy-to-find central location with one of the largest green spaces in the city, the suburb of Albert Park is the perfect conference location in Melbourne. Explore the wide streets and hidden laneways, the historic trees and heritage buildings, and the beaches and cafés – it’s the best of Melbourne without the busy-ness of the CBD. The area is well served by public transport, and with the hotel’s access to 500 parking spaces, it’s equally convenient to arrive by car. In between conferencing you can get to trendy St Kilda, arty Southbank, and the famous beachfront in just ten minutes.
The Pullman Albert Park
From boardroom to ballroom, the 32 adaptable venues at Pullman Melbourne Albert Park Conference Centre opens almost unlimited event potential. On the more intimate side of things, the Boardroom is a 15-person private space equipped with everything you need for a high-level meeting. If you need some more out-of-the-box thinking, the Park Room is an 84-person capacity space filled with natural light and park views through a wall of windows.
And for when only the best will do, the Grand Ballroom is a pillarless marvel with a ceiling of contemporary chandeliers, 6m high floor to ceiling windows, and space for 1600 guests – there’s nowhere else quite like it.
