Why Australia's Gold Coast is a Top Destination for Meetings, Events and Team Building
The Gold Coast is where Sabre was founded in 1988 and has remained our head office and home ever since. We wouldn’t have it any other way.
Over the years we have developed and delivered every conceivable form of indoor and outdoor team building format here with great effect, largely because there are so many diverse venues and locations to make use of.
Whilst we work all over Australia, and the world, The Gold Coast is just somewhere we have soft spot for as our favourite meetings and events destination.
The Gold Coast, located in sunny Queensland, Australia, is Australia’s premier destination for meetings, events and team building of all styles, offering a unique combination of stunning natural beauty, world-class facilities, and vibrant culture.
Known for its 57 kilometres of pristine beaches, rainforest and national parks, theme parks and sophisticated urban infrastructure the region offers not just an idyllic setting but also an environment highly conducive to team development, networking, creativity, and relaxation.
Accessibility and Infrastructure
One of the key reasons the Gold Coast excels as a meeting and event destination is its excellent infrastructure. The Gold Coast has a major Convention and Exhibition Centre, many state-of-the-art hotel resorts with conference venues, and can host small and quite large-scale conferences, exhibitions, and corporate events. Additionally, the city is easily accessible, with the Gold Coast Airport offering direct flights to major Australian cities and international hubs and Brisbane International Airport only an hour away as well.
Accommodations and Hospitality
With a wide range of accommodation options, from luxury resorts to budget-friendly hotels and forest retreats, the Gold Coast caters to all types of meeting and events. This ensures that event organisers can find suitable lodging for every attendee. The region is also known for its exceptional hospitality, with top-tier service and world-class restaurants that contribute to memorable event experiences. It’s an event-oriented town and most venues have great spaces available on-site or close by for team building.
Scenic Beauty and Leisure Opportunities
A standout feature of the Gold Coast is its breathtaking scenery. Meeting attendees can enjoy their downtime on long golden beaches, explore the lush rainforest in the hinterlands, or indulge in outdoor activities.. The balance between professional events and leisure activities enhances the overall experience, making it an attractive choice for corporate retreats or incentive programs. Many of our ‘out and about’ team building formats incorporate the local attractions and scenery.
Cultural and Entertainment Appeal
Beyond its natural beauty, the Gold Coast offers a vibrant entertainment scene with theme parks, casino, a home of the arts and its very lively nightlife. This makes it a dynamic destination where business and pleasure blend seamlessly, ensuring a positive and productive atmosphere for any event. This ‘fun vibe’ is important to enhance the novelty, memorability and impact of a team or leadership development programme.
The Gold Coast combines convenience, world-class amenities, and a stunning location, making it a top-tier destination for meetings and events and all of our best team building and development options.
We never hesitate to recommend the Gold Coast as a great destination for our clients to come to for their conferences and development off-sites.
