Plan Your Next Conference in Surfers Paradise

Residential conferences typically run over two or three days, combining plenary sessions, breakout rooms, networking, a dinner and accommodation for attendees.

While our skilled team can tailor your itinerary to your unique needs, a program outline hosted in our Grand Ballroom might look as follows:

DAY ONE

Delegates check in, collect badges in the registration area, then join the opening plenary in the Grand Ballroom. Welcome drinks follow on the private outdoor terrace.

DAY TWO

Breakout sessions run in the divided ballroom, with morning and afternoon tea served in the catering corridor. Once the walls are opened, the ballroom resets for an evening gala dinner or awards night, with movable stages and a dance floor.

DAY THREE

Closing presentations, a working lunch and check-out.

Every program is built around your objectives, and our events team will help you shape the schedule, room layout and meal times to suit your group.

Networking and Downtime

Good conferences leave time for fresh ideas outside the session room. Host relaxed networking drinks in the Miami Room, which has an in-built bar, or take the group to BLVD Café & Bar after the final session.

For something more active, our Meet & Play and Team Building options use the hotel’s full-sized sports court and the beach nearby. These activities help delegates engage with each other and leave a lasting impression long after the event.

Delegate Accommodation in Surfers Paradise

With 408 rooms across 36 floors, Novotel Surfers Paradise can house your delegates, speakers and organising team in the same building as your sessions.

Accommodation options include Superior, Deluxe and Family rooms for delegates, Executive and Executive Spa rooms for senior guests, and refreshed Penthouse suites for VIPs or keynote speakers. Accessible rooms are also available.

Between sessions, delegates can enjoy our facilities. Rest by the pool, use the fitness centre or connect over a buffet breakfast. The beach and Cavill Avenue’s dining are a short walk away.

Corporate and group rates for delegate room blocks are available on enquiry. Include your dates and estimated room nights in your quotation request, and your event planner will confirm availability and pricing.
