Thursday, August 22, 2024 With just a week to go before the grand opening of The Star Brisbane’s Event Centre on August 29, 2024, the excitement surrounding this new facility is palpable. The Event Centre, located within the expansive Queen’s Wharf Brisbane precinct, is being hailed as a major milestone in Brisbane’s journey to becoming Australia’s premier destination for business and leisure events. Spanning an impressive 3,500 square meters, this state-of-the-art venue is poised to significantly enhance Brisbane’s appeal to both domestic and international travelers, particularly those involved in the events and conferencing sector.
A First Look at Brisbane’s Largest Ballroom The Event Centre is already making headlines for its scale and sophistication. As part of its offerings, the centre boasts Brisbane’s largest ballroom, a stunning 1,440-seat space that can be divided into five separate areas, making it one of the most versatile venues in the city. This flexibility is key to accommodating a wide range of events, from intimate gatherings to large-scale international conferences.
Complementing the ballroom is a central glass atrium, floor-to-ceiling windows, cutting-edge audiovisual technology, an outdoor terrace, and a pre-function bar with picturesque views of the iconic Story Bridge. The introduction of this venue is expected to “supercharge” Brisbane’s events and conferencing industry, according to Daniel Finch, CEO of The Star Brisbane. Recent data.
