Crowne Plaza Opens Hunter Valley Conference and Events Centre

IHG has expanded its portfolio of conference and exhibition facilities in Australia with the opening of the Crowne Plaza Hunter Valley Conference and Events Centre.

Robert Coates, General Manager, Crowne Plaza Hunter Valley said, “The new Conference and Events Centre will position the Hunter Valley as a leading Australian conference and events destination. Offering guests the latest technology and a light-filled design in a state-of-the-art venue with a combined 2,000 square metres of pre-function, meeting and exhibition space coupled with a unique wine country destination. We have already received large scale group bookings for 2015 resulting in 20% growth in business events and many in the pipeline for 2016 - it looks set to be a very busy year for us.”

To complement the new development, Crowne Plaza Hunter Valley has welcomed one of Australia’s largest providers of audio visual equipment, Scene Change, to manage the growing demand of sophisticated and advanced audio visual needs, putting the resort in the forefront of business events.

“The technical installation is at the same level as the best of Australia's convention centres, with high-end Barco projectors and sophisticated digital controls. Clients will get the welcoming, relaxed Hunter conference experience without having to compromise their production values,” said Scene Change co-founder, Ian Whitworth.
