Delegates will be able to discover ancient wilderness and amazing wildlife; savour superb seafood, fresh local produce and wonderful cool climate wines. Tasmania is the perfect meeting place. It offers some of the finest meeting facilities in one of the world’s most stunning environments, so readily accessible from interstate or overseas. Ground costs for conferencing in Tasmania compare favourably with other Australian cities. Whether you require a city venue for a large convention of 1100 people or a secluded haven in the Tasmanian wilderness for a small incentive group, Tasmania’s convention venues are on par with any in Australia and are operated by professionals experienced in staging prestigious international events.
