Salamanca Market, credit Tourism Tasmania and Sean Fennessy

Australian International Education Conference Hotel Grand Chancellor Hobart 1,300 attendees “The feedback has been amazing, a truly successful conference, with a real Tasmanian feel. We had the “meet the makers” at the welcome reception, and a pop-up market in the exhibition with local traders. The staff at Hotel Grand Chancellor were great, and so were all the other vendors we liaised with.

Overall, it was a great success!”

Travel Agents Meeting Freycinet Lodge, East Coast 24 delegates

“Business Events Tasmania proactively assisted the conference organisers from the start and were very helpful, especially with the selection of the conference venue. We felt very wellsupported and nothing was too much trouble.

I recommend BET to anyone as a conference starting point. Over 12 months of planning went into this event and all service providers were very helpful and keen to see that the event was successful.”

“We were ferried through North-East Tasmania’s stunning scenery to Freycinet Lodge on the gorgeous Great Oyster Bay. The pristine environment and the way the Lodge has settled comfortably into the spectacular landscape over its life struck us. As a destination for eco-enthusiasts or a venue for a distraction-free corporate conference, Freycinet Lodge has few peers.”

Expense Reduction Analysts Internal Conference Peppers Cradle Mountain Lodge, North West Tasmania 25 delegates “The venue was perfect, and we had the most picturesque snow storm followed by crisp days and blue skies. Logistically we thought it may be difficult to manage, but in reality it was simple. We were guided and assisted by Business Events Tasmania all the way through the organisation of the conference, the detail was all provided, we simply had to make choices, and this is not the case elsewhere.”

Mona has art and stuff but there’s also the food, wine, bars, restaurants, cellar door, accommodation, library, and a chapel to atone for your many and shocking sins. Also, if you’re planning on dropping off the perch any time soon, secure a place in our cemetery and enjoy eternal status as art aficionado extraordinaire.

Mona was designed, by Fender Katsalidis Architects, to be explored — as a space of wonder and experiment.

There are multiple spaces for you to hire, for groups of ten to 450 — around the building and

BUSINESS EVENTS TASMANIA 2018-19 PLANNERS GUIDE

inside it. See mona.net.au for more information.

Our premier spaces include the Void, featuring the original sandstone wall from Mona’s construction, complete with snazzy cocktail bar. There’s also the Nolan Gallery, home to Sidney Nolan’s modernist masterpiece, Snake, and a new ‘skyspace’ by the wondrous light artist James Turrell.

Executive chef Vince Trim and his team of trusty sidekicks will cater to your needs — from finger food to multi-course meals to banquets. This is complemented by Moorilla wine and Moo Brew beer of course. For the living and the dead alike, Mona is a temple to secularism — and hedonism.

Come worship with us.

After a delicious breakkie, the group heads to Australia’s largest regional museum – the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery.

Here you will savour locally roasted coffee and taste your way around the foodie stalls before collecting a myriad of premium produce, coolclimate wines, artisan ciders and home-made preserves for the journey home.

Tonight we are booked at the award-winning restaurant, Stillwater, a renovated 1830s flour mill, with its casually elegant ambience and where the food and wine comes across as a genuine expression of the region.

Tonight, the group heads out to Cataract on Patterson, one of the most popular restaurants among locals for a relaxed evening.

Tonight, we travel out of Launceston to the stunning restaurant at Josef Chromy Wines that overlooks a picturesque lake and vineyard.

A truly unique location for you to experience superb Tasmanian wines and fine cuisine featuring fresh local produce.
