The end of the year is quickly approaching, and now is the ideal time to start planning your 2025 corporate events. Whether you’re preparing for a busy first quarter, securing venues to celebrate key milestones throughout the year, or mapping out your entire annual calendar, getting ahead and scheduling in your event dates ensures a smooth, stress-free, and most importantly, a productive start to the year for you and your entire organisation.
For many reasons, including the well researched health benefits and increased productivity levels, it’s vital to take a step out of the office and ‘busy corporate world’ as regularly as possible throughout the year – and nothing compares to being out in nature amongst the serene beauty of the Yarra Valley when considering the location for your business events. Combine the best of business and pleasure by hosting your conferences, meetings, luncheons, team building activities and more, surrounded by stunning landscapes and inspiring spaces that go beyond your standard meeting rooms.
Why Early Planning Is Key

- Secure your preferred venue and dates before they book out – especially important for Q1 and the first half of the year.
- Map out your organisation’s goals and intentions to set the tone for a productive year.
- Allow time for thoughtful planning, from budgets and guest lists, to menu selections and corporate incentives activities.
- Avoid last-minute stress, ensuring each event, team gathering and client meeting is seamless and impactful.
