Conferences & Conventions - Venues


WHERE AND HOW YOU MEET
IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS WHY YOU MEET

You should choose the venue for your event or conference the same way you choose the clothes you're going to wear to it.
It should be appropriate for the occasion. It should fit your purpose like a well tailored suit. It should make your attendees feel comfortable. It should complement your company's personality. And it should enhance others' perceptions of how you do business.

Albury Wodonga has a complete wardrobe of venues for you to choose from, so you'll always have the right business outfit, for every occasion. 
Big And Slick. Smart And Small. Formal And Friendly.

We have the right solution to every business event need. No two companies, departments, or associations ever need exactly the same outcomes from a convention or event. Which is why no two venues in Albury Wodonga are exactly the same either.

We're just like the business people who visit us, we come in all shapes and sizes and styles and personalities. Our venues reflect today's business needs, which are diversity, flexibility, efficiency, competitiveness, quality and above all else, professionalism.
And they're all conveniently located within the city centres, and in the nearby beautiful countryside. So access and travel is never a hassle for anybody, whatever your choice.

Our venues also give you great flexibility because they can accommodate seating requirements for anything from 10 to 2500 people, in every style and form. You can choose from our large capacity, ultra modern Albury Convention Centre and Commercial Club to small intimate theatres and halls, holiday resorts, sports stadiums, leisure centres, as well as both the Charles Sturt University and LaTrobe University campuses.
And For Something A Little Bit Different

If your group is wanting to do business in a more characterful or creatively stimulating environment, then you can have your event in a wine cellar or keg room, a converted woolshed, the snow covered Alpine village resort of Mt Buffalo, within the panelled halls of an old pastoral castle or overlooking the renowned Brown Brothers Vineyard at  LindenWarrah at Milawa .

And if you're looking for something entirely different, and utterly memorable, you could have it under a Big Top with the Flying Fruit Fly Circus, or onboard
a Murray River paddle steamer.

All of which means that no matter what your business event requires, you'll feel quite at home (and quite special) while doing business away from it.



Turn Up The Intellectual Heat By A Few Degrees

We can provide you with the unique opportunity of adding scientific and academic weight to your event. Two of the country's leading centres of research and higher learning, the Charles Sturt and LaTrobe Universities are here in the Albury Wodonga region, and many of their eminent professors and doctors ( some of the nation's leading researchers and teachers in medicine, nursing, agriculture and ecology ) are available to make guest speaking appearances.

The futuristic Charles Sturt campus, in Thurgoona, is a living role model of an environmentally responsible work place. The principles applied in creating the campus have put into practice new methods of building design, and low impact, low energy using, environmentally sensitive systems and processes.

Using rammed earth walls, natural fibre floor coverings, solar heating, dry waste disposal and natural ventilation, the campus provides a practical demonstration of how a major facility can cater for the needs of modern business and lifestyles in harmony with a responsible use of the local environment.

This fascinating glimpse of the future is also available (outside of student terms) for use as an event venue, as well as for group tours and visits.
A Natural Fit

Many agriculturally based or connected businesses, associations and authorities find Albury Wodonga a natural fit for their needs. Many delegates feel much more at home in a regional centre, which is more complementary to their interests, than a large metropolitan city. Being on the border of two states we also provide a neutral meeting ground for state based and national enterprises, and thereby avoiding territorial sensibilities and issues .

And Now For a Good Night's Sleep

There's only one way of sleeping around here, and that's like a log. In the Albury Wodonga region there are over 4000 hotel and motel beds, all of which guarantee you a good night's sleep. They also guarantee to suit your specific taste, budget and needs, as they range from five star elegance to economical two star comfort.

We also provide you with a wide range of dramatically different location options. If you want to avoid the hassles of making travel or shuttle service arrangements, there are over 1100 rooms within five city blocks of several convention facilities located in Albury's CBD. These hotels including our largest, the Country Comfort Albury with 138 rooms, provide you with close access to the city centre with all its shops, restaurants, clubs and theatres.

If you prefer to have a greater contrast between work and rest, in a more relaxing environment, you can stay at a hotel overlooking one of our prestigious, championship golf courses, or out across the spectacular Lake Hume . There are also smaller, more intimate hotels in quieter residential areas.

So whatever your sleeping demands, you'll rest easy knowing you'll find just the right place, right here.
