BRISBANE PARTNERSHIP OFFERS BEST OF BOTH WORLDS B risbane Convention & Exhibition Centre (BCEC) has joined forces with Rydges Hotel South Bank opening up new opportunities for those smaller and medium sized conferences wanting a convention centre experience but with the added convenience of a single point of contact for both accommodation and conference facilities. South Bank Conferences is an exciting initiative that will simplify the process with organisers benefiting from the convenience of premium on-site accommodation and access to the dedicated boutique conference facilities of the World’s Best Convention Centre. The one stop shop approach will see unrivalled conference facilities co-exist with award winning hospitality and hotel services taking these smaller and medium sized conferences to a whole new level of effectiveness and professionalism, delivering the best of both worlds for organisers and delegates. The recently refurbished Rydges South Bank connected by private entry to the Convention Centre sits right in the heart of Brisbane’s bustling arts and entertainment precinct. All 304 rooms including 64 suites have been meticulously refurbished as part of a $30 million upgrade including the creation of new spaces and experiences. The hotel can also lay claim to one of Brisbane’s top restaurants, Bacchus Restaurant & Bar, awarded a one chef hat rating, and the very popular Soleil Rooftop Pool Bar. BCEC general manager Bob O’Keeffe says South Bank Conferences is about providing value and choice for clients. “Reflective of BCEC’s previous successful partnership model collaborating with business, the arts, education and research, this initiative is pivotal to developing innovative solutions targeting the specific conference needs of clients,” he says.
