Where heritage charm meets modern innovation

Creative, forward-thinking backdrop

Geelong is a city where heritage charm meets modern innovation. As Australia’s only UNESCO City of Design, Geelong offers a creative, forward-thinking backdrop for business events of every kind.

Just one hour from Melbourne – and easily accessed by road, air (via Avalon Airport), or ferry – Geelong is a vibrant regional city offering seamless connections and surprising possibilities.

Destination designed to connect, energise and inspire

Host your event in state-of-the-art conference venues – including the soon-to-open Nyaal Banyul Geelong Convention and Event Centre – just steps from the waterfront. Stay in stylish hotels and wander between intimate wine bars, art-filled laneways, and buzzing eateries – all within walking distance.

Here, industrial history has been reimagined into galleries, breweries and cultural spaces – all framed by Geelong’s relaxed coastal energy. This is a destination designed to connect, energise and inspire.
