The Art and Craft
of successful conventions
The Darwin Convention Centre's highly skilled team will make your event an extraordinary experience from beginning to end.
Event Planning
The fully integrated Events Team offers invaluable specialist advice in all aspects of event planning including catering, room set-ups, technical issues, telecommunications and security. Every event is different so the Events Team will customise what’s on offer at the Centre to suit specific requirements.
Food & Beverage
The extensive food and beverage fare is modern Australian in character, incorporating local and regional specialties. On offer is simple, fresh and uncomplicated food made only with the finest ingredients, from freshly caught seafood and produce sourced from local growers.
Darwin Convention Centre’s chefs have created a diverse selection of menus for all occasions, from conference packages to three course dinners and cocktail parties.
Audio Visual
From the requirements of a simple presentation to a spectacular production, the AV team will provide the perfect level of support and advice. Alternatively, the Centre will work in partnership with the client’s appointed production company to achieve the best technical outcomes.
Communications
The Centre is equipped for interactive multi-media technology, wireless internet and networking with technology specialists on hand to ensure all communications needs are met.
Special requirements such as cyber cafes, video conferencing, simultaneous multi-lingual translations or digital voting systems can be organised on request.
