Now, let's explore our latest additions

For the people in the back

LED Screens

There's nothing worse than not being able to see the presenter in a room, and it's equally frustrating for the presenter when people in the back can't engage with the content. But with our upgraded LED screens, those worries disappear. These screens, available in Plenary and as free-standing units in other areas of the venue, offer more flexibility, wider viewing angles, and better visibility, ensuring everyone feels like they're part of the event.

And that's not all—our improved LED technology brings superior colour, depth, and clarity, with 2.3x increased screen resolution for sharper, clearer content. In line with our commitment to sustainability, our screens are energy-efficient, minimising our environmental impact while maximising experiences.

AMX Control Panels

Don't let clunky setting changes steal the spotlight from your guests—let them stay focused on the heart of the action.

With our upgraded AMX Control Panels, you can effortlessly control lights, blinds, temperature, and volume in your event space without even raising an eyebrow from your audience. Our venue boasts one of Australia's biggest fleets of Varia control panels. So, when you're in control, you can work your magic without your guests suspecting a thing.
