Everything, So Close

One of the region’s greatest strengths is how compact and connected it is. Geelong & The Bellarine delivers scale without sprawl. Variety without complexity. Impact without long transfers.

You can host a conference in the city, dine in a vineyard, surf in Ocean Grove, and be back on the waterfront for sunset drinks - all in the same day.

It’s seamless.
It’s flexible.
And it’s what makes events here feel so good to attend.

A New Era for Business Events

Geelong is stepping into a bold new chapter for business events.

• Crowne Plaza Geelong now anchors the waterfront with premium accommodation and event facilities.
• Nyaal Banyul Geelong Convention and Event Centre opens in July 2026, setting a new benchmark for conferences and exhibitions in regional Australia.
• Novotel Geelong’s redevelopment opening in 2027 is elevating the delegate experience even further, and once their new development opens it will be the largest hotel in the region.

Together, they signal a region ready to host at scale - with style, confidence and creativity.
