For your next conference why not offer your delegates a unique and totally Australian experience. With a good number of varied conferencing facilities and genuine “outback hospitality’ Conferencing in Darwin is an inspired choice. Conference venues in Darwin are a great resource, and their staff are always proud to show-case the rich experiences on offer in the ‘Top End’.

The facilities on offer at Darwin Conference Centres have been ergonomically designed and fitted out to ensure a comfortable temperature no matter the outside conditions. With a Wet and Dry season, Darwin in considered mainly tropical and the city itself rarely goes above 34C or below 30C during the day because of its coastal location. However as you move inland, daytime maximums increase and night time minimums fall sharply.

The Summer wet season falls between December and March, bringing  with it temperatures that range from 25 – 33C.  With an average rainfall of 321mm, spectacular waterfalls enthrall visitors.  The deluge of rain also provides the earth with much needed moisture that responds with a vibrant display of wildflowers and eye catching wildlife.  Darwin has no need to operate day light saving and local time is 9.5 ahead of GMT.

Rainfall in the Dry season  (which falls between May and September)  only averages 2mm – a sharp contrast from the bountiful rains of Summer.  The temperature however falls less markedly with a 20 – 30C range being common.  Surely the perfect opportunity to get out and about and with endless possibilities…….a day trip to Litchfield  or Kakadu National Parks, Mindil Beach sunset markets or perhaps a visit to Crocadylus Park  where you can witness  the largest reptiles in the world.

Darwin offers points of difference like no other and the Conference Venues in Darwin are just waiting to assist you in discovering the hidden treasures that abound, be it for a team building exercise, partner programs or tour suggestions.

The climate of Adelaide is considered ‘Mediterranean’ providing an abundance of fresh fruit and produce. Vineyards in the surrounding areas of Barossa, Clare, Coonawarra and McLaren Vale  thrive in the mild winter conditions which reach maximums of 15-16 degrees Celsius  and minimum temps of around 8 degrees Celsius.  Diversity in lifestyle and activities is the name of the game with hot dry Summers (on average 29 degrees Celsius but sometimes climbing to 40 degrees Celsius or above) lending themselves to long cool evening walks around the picturesque city gardens or river Torrens or maybe some down time for your guests at the pristine beaches just a short tram ride from the city. Adelaide operates on daylight saving time between the last weekend in October to the last weekend in March. Local time is advanced 1 hour to 10.5 ahead of GMT. Working with the diversity of the seasons in Adelaide – the Conference venues are  well versed in the opportunities the winter months bring. Cosy luncheons at any of the prolific wineries or culturally diverse eateries or perhaps hiking  at the surprisingly close Gorge or Falls create great experiences for your delegates. As the locals will tell you, the clear blue skies of Spring and Autumn are a regular occurrence that makes time spent in Adelaide very memorable during these months.

Whatever the season, you can be sure the conference centres in Adelaide have addressed the importance of providing  a comfortable environment  in contributing to the success of your conference.
