What is the cost of planning a corporate event in Australia?

The cost of your event will depend on several factors, such as event size, location, venue choice, and level of service required.

How far in advance should I start planning my event in Australia?

Ideally, you should begin the planning process 6–12 months in advance to secure top-tier venues and vendors, especially if you’re planning a large conference, incentive trip, or destination event in Australia. However, we understand that time constraints can arise and we’re agile and responsive to meet short-term planning for last-minute events. The more time we have to work with, the more we can customise your event to meet your objectives and create a unique experience for your attendees.
