A Geelong Corporate Event, Step by Step

Corporate events around Corio Bay range from a gala dinner on the Waterfront to a planning day at a Waurn Ponds estate or an off-site at a Torquay resort. Start with the format – conference, dinner, team day or client function – and the guest count.

Venue and activity options by format:

  • Conference and gala – a Waterfront convention centre room seats 190 at banquet tables, and a Torquay resort ballroom takes up to 410.
  • Off-site day – a conference and events estate at Waurn Ponds hosts 16 to 300 from $65 per person.
  • Client dinner – first-floor restaurants and wine bars on Ryrie and Little Malop streets from $72 per person.
  • Team building – surf lessons at Torquay and Barwon Heads, climbing and abseiling from $180 per person, laser skirmish, free-roam VR and barefoot bowls.
  • Event support – videographers, stylists, marquee hire, florists and coach charter.

Pricing ranges from $25 per person for a pub terrace to $110 per person for a Bellarine winery lunch, with a $1,100 minimum spend or a $1,500 minimum spend at two historic pubs. For a full team day, see team building.

Matching the venue to the brief

  • Ask for AV details: screens, microphones, Wi-Fi and a technician on the day.
  • Check breakout space for workshops alongside the main room.
  • For an overnight off-site, a resort or estate with rooms on site saves on transfers.
  • For a client dinner, a private room in a CBD restaurant keeps the conversation easy.

Outdoor team days

  • Surf lessons, kayaking and abseiling depend on wind and weather; ask about rebooking terms and an indoor alternative.
  • Sunrise balloon flights are weather-dependent too; confirm the backup date before paying.
  • Provide sun protection, water and a change of clothes for anything on the beach.

Getting the team there

  • Charter a coach with a driver for anything on the Bellarine, Surf Coast or in the Moorabool Valley.
  • For a CBD event, pick a venue near the station and the Waterfront so staff can make their own way.
  • Agree pick-up times with the coach operator and share them with staff in advance.
