About Newcastle

There’s a lot to like about the new Newcastle. No longer the one-dimensional industrial city it was once perceived to be, Newcastle has transformed itself into a vibrant, unique and culturally rich city. A city with a diverse feast of experiences and a vast range of facilities you would expect from a modern city, plus many other surprises.

As Australia’s seventh largest and second oldest city, Newcastle boasts modern and contemporary venues along with iconic and historically significant function spaces providing a unique diversity of choice for business events. Newcastle is proud to have a proven and successful track record of hosting international, national and state conferences and events. Newcastle, with a vast array of function venues has no shortage of space – the largest venue seating 6,500 delegates. With over eighteen function venues located within the city centre, ten with onsite accommodation, your hardest decision will be which venue to choose.

When it comes to getting some well earned rest after a busy day, we have a range of quality hotels and accommodation, with more than 2,000 rooms within an easy 30 minute reach of the CBD - almost 1,000 of these are within a 5 minute walk of the CBD! Not only does Newcastle host world-class facilities, events and attractions, but is also conveniently located and easy to access wherever you’re travelling from.
