Opening in July 2026, Nyaal Banyul Geelong Convention and Event Centre introduces a new era for regional business events in Victoria. Set on the Geelong waterfront just over an hour from Melbourne, it offers a purpose-built destination that brings together scale, setting and ease.
Designed for flexibility, the venue features a 1,000-seat tiered theatre, 3,700 square metres of adaptable event space, and a 200-room Crowne Plaza hotel, supporting everything from large-scale conferences and exhibitions to gala events and meetings. Every detail is supported by integrated, industry-leading audiovisual technology for seamless delivery.
Set on the Geelong waterfront, delegates are within walking distance of accommodation, dining, and local attractions, creating a connected and engaging experience from arrival to departure.
Beyond the conference, curated regional experiences across Geelong and the Bellarine Peninsula bring a sense of immersion to any event. From acclaimed wineries to coastal landscapes and cultural attractions, these experiences showcase the region while supporting local communities. This connection is reflected in the food and beverage offering, drawing on local producers and seasonal ingredients.
With a strong focus on sustainability, accessibility, and expert support from the Victorian Convention and Event Trust, Nyaal Banyul offers a compelling regional destination, with subvention funding available for eligible events.
