READER EVENTS Your invitation to network at our exclusive reader events Soak up Sydney at Taronga Centre Dine, wine and have an animal encounter at the Taronga Centre in the heart of Taronga Zoo, while enjoying views of the Sydney harbour with Restaurant Associates JANUARY 31, 2017 It’s not every day you get an animal encounter while enjoying some of the best views this country has to offer – but Executive PA Readers are getting the opportunity to do just that. Held in the Harbourview Ballroom in the Taronga Centre, on the second floor of the function centre, guests will start with an experiential tour of the venue and what it can mean for any corporate event, meeting or conference. On the grounds of Taronga Zoo, the venue has stunning views of Sydney Harbour, including the Harbour Bridge, Opera House and Fort Denison. EAs will be guided to the entrance of the Wild Ropes adventure course, which is great for team building experiences and group activity, and the top of the sky safari, a great way to get to your event group from the ferry, which is only 12 minutes from Circular Quay. There will be a brief scenic tour through the zoo, past tree kangaroos to the function centre, reception area and up to the Harbourview Terrace to view the space, before heading down the centre stairway into the Harbourview Ballroom for canapes and a cocktail. Before dining on dishes created by the in-house chefs, there will be an animal encounter, and following dinner, a dessert station will showcase the work of the in-house pastry chef. In addition there will be a competition to go in the running to win a team-building afternoon for up to 12 people. Restaurant Associates, which runs all aspects of event operations at the Taronga Centre, supports Taronga Conservation Society Australia (TCSA) through sharing a portion of all revenue generated from events. The revenue goes towards supporting all worldwide conservation initiatives led by TCSA, including conservation efforts such as saving Sumatran Tigers in Indonesia from extinction, supporting local communities in protecting Asian Elephants and rescuing injured or abandoned wildlife in Australia through Taronga’s wildlife hospital. Restaurant Associates prides itself on flexibility and its dedication, to ensure all events are offered a bespoke experience, whether a morning meeting, a three-day conference, or an extravagant awards night. And as Corporate Coordinator Theresa Nesbitt says “At Taronga Function Centre not only are we able to create any style of event our client wants with stunning background views, but are able to provide them with ineffable experiences throughout the zoo. Where else could you touch an echidna during your event?!” INFO www.tarongacentre.com.au HOW TO REGISTER The event is free for individual readers or groups.
