Regardless of which end of the Coast you find yourself exploring, there are some truly inspiring dining experiences available just about everywhere you go. Just ask the locals to point you in the right direction!
Choice of event venues
Shedding its past reputation as a party hub, the Gold Coast means serious business now.
Business amenities include a range of exhibition and corporate venues, perfect for more professional events.
With many options including conference centres, hotels, special purpose venues and stadiums, you won’t be short on choice for event venues on the Gold Coast.
Social activities
Whether you’re rewarding your top performers with a fun trip and looking for team building activities, the Gold Coast has plenty of options.
Active adventurers should look into taking surf lessons or doing the Q1 Skyclimb. You could also check out one of the theme parks like Movie World or Dreamworld or take a boat out on the beautiful Broadwater.
If relaxation is more your style, there are whale watching tours, craft breweries or some beautiful wineries in the Gold Coast Hinterland. Of course, you could coincide your event with a high profile occasion such as the GC600 motor racing, Magic Millions or a red carpet movie premiere.
