The IACC Difference
Why you should always book your conference at an IACC certified venue
International Association of Conference Centres (IACC) is a global membership of conference venues, all of which meet IACC's exacting standards and stringent guidelines to ensure the highest quality conference facilities and service, with a focus on delivering ‘business to your meetings'. An IACC membership is much sort after from a conference venue, yet not easily obtained - and all three properties of The Lancemore Group are IACC member properties. The Lancemore Group have been founding members of IACC Australia since the early 90's, and now our CEO, Julian Clark, is President of IACC Australia. To learn about the particular IACC requirements and why you should always book your conference at an IACC certified venue...
It's more than just a concept. Thousands of meeting organisers understand the conference centre concept and trust how it delivers the technical sophistication and specialised service that today's meetings demand - a uniquely designed setting, superior services and support, plus dedicated, professional staff to give you maximum results.
Purpose Built Conference Venues
IACC Conference Centers are adept at handling a wide variety of meetings:
- Training
- Board of Directors/Executive Groups
- Strategic Planning
- Team Building
- Management
- New Product Launches
- Sales/Marketing
- Incentive/Motivational
- Budget/Audit
- Customer Presentations
The meeting rooms at IACC venues are just that: meeting rooms. They feature specially designed furniture and the facilities you will need - ergonomic chairs, excellent natural light and the right technology. You'll not arrive at an IACC venue and find your event in a banqueting suite where the bar has its shutters down, the chandeliers block the view of the screen and the chairs are the same ones you used for dinner the night before. Put simply, meeting rooms are designed for meetings, by professionals, for professionals.
Focus & Flexibility For Your Full Conference Experience
We Focus on Your Needs
By specialising in small to medium size meetings, conference centres are free from the mega conventions and events, or leisure guests in your designated area that can distract or overshadow your group in large hotels and non-purpose built facilities.
We are as Flexible as You Require
IACC venues understand moment-to-moment changes in your meetings - meal and recreation times, for example - and these are handled efficiently and with a smile.
Staff Planner Just for Your Group
A designated Conference Coordinator provides a single point of contact for your group. Skilled support staff assists you in realising your meeting objectives. And a business centre provides access to computers, copying, faxing and other services.
Food & Beverage - private and flexible
Dining facilities offer a flexible schedule designed for the convenience of your group's timing on the day and food preferences. At The Lancemore Group, private dining and continuous refreshment service outside your meeting room is standard, not an added extra.
Conference Technology
Conference centres maintain a full inventory of standard audiovisual equipment (included in your meeting package) as well as advanced conference technologies. Skilled technicians are on site to set up and support your presentation.
Complete Meeting Package
Unlike many other venues IACC properties quote based on an all-inclusive Complete Meeting Package (CMP), so there are no hidden or additional costs. To name but a few examples: Private Dining - Complementary. AV - Included in the charge. Break out rooms - Free of charge also. IACC Conference centres' simplify your planning and budgeting with a convenient, overall per-person rate for:
- Accommodation rooms
- Conference rooms, with 24-hour access
- AV requirements
- Break-out spaces
- All meals and continuous refreshment breaks
- Use of on-site recreational facilities
President of IACC Australia
Although IACC is a global membership of venues, there are regional leaders who are the central point of contact to share global best practices and learnings. The Australian group of IACC venues elected in the CEO of The Lancemore Group, Julian Clark, as President of IACC Australia 12 months ago. This puts The Lancemore Group in a unique, and strong, position to be at the forefront of learning for conference centres, with Julian regularly attending international meetings and tours, to listen to and share ideas on what current best practices are in conference centres. Then he shares these with the team and we implement them to ensure our properties remain the benchmark in conferencing. So when you are booking your next conference leave nothing to chance and make sure it is IACC certified.
