Corporate Event in Brisbane

A Brisbane Corporate Event, Step by Step

Corporate events in Brisbane run from a breakfast briefing in the CBD to a product launch for several hundred people. Start with the format, whether that's a seated dinner, a conference with breakouts, a cocktail function or a team day out, and the right part of the city usually follows.

What each part of Brisbane offers businesses:

CBD & Fortitude Valley: smaller rooms from $650 room hire and $450 room hire, plus Eagle Street riverside dining rooms and Valley warehouses
Inner South: West End warehouse space for launches, with exclusive hire from $15,000 minimum spend, and South Bank beer gardens for a relaxed function
Western Suburbs: bowls clubs from $12 per person, golf clubs and garden homesteads for daytime events
Redlands and Moreton Bay: a winery at Mount Cotton, a heritage estate at King Scrub and 4WD tours on Bribie Island for a day away
Logan, Southside and Ipswich: large pub function centres with parking for staff who live across the suburbs

Bring in AV hire, caterers and an MC, or ask corporate event planners to handle the details.
