Among many others, we have sourced conferences, events and group accommodation for AstraZeneca, Merck, Hungry Jack’s, AbbVie, Sandvik, Lendlease, Randstad, Aspen Australia, BDO, Abundium and Edwards Lifesciences.

Where we work

Australia-wide, and well beyond it.

A capital-city conference floor, a wine-country offsite, an island incentive that gives delegates something to remember. We source in all of them, and we can tell you which properties suit which kind of event.

The process

How your event comes together.

Day one

You tell us about your event

Dates, delegate numbers, where you would like to be and roughly what you have to spend. Use the form or call and talk it through, whichever is easier for you.

The next 48 hours

We go looking

We check what is really available across the venues that suit your brief, including rooms that never show as free online, then negotiate rates and inclusions on your behalf.

Hour 48

You compare real options

You have a shortlist you can compare. Rates, inclusions, capacities and the trade-offs between them, set out side by side.

Through to the day

We confirm and stay with it

We lock in the rate, handle the contract detail and coordinate accommodation and suppliers through to the day. The decisions stay yours throughout.

Why organisers use us

We would rather send you a handful of venues we can vouch for than a list you have to work through.

Doing it yourself means chasing availability, paying the published rate and reconciling quotes across your inbox. With us, one brief goes to a team that has walked the rooms, knows which ones work for what, and can negotiate rates and inclusions that never appear online. You get a shortlist within 48 hours, and a person to talk it through with.

The people

The same small team, from first call to final invoice.

A booking site shows you what is listed. We know what is actually available, which is how a venue that is "fully booked" finds you a room, and how a standard rate quietly becomes a better one.

In their words
CVBS can do everything for you. Don't waste hours trying to do it yourself, they are the experts. They have the ideas, suggestions and connections to find that perfect venue anywhere. They take a brief, recommend multiple options, source quotes, book venues and arrange the contracts with the supplier.
Sherida BollingExecutive Assistant to CEO, Randstad
At first I couldn't believe this service was free to us as clients. I've price-checked them a number of times over nine years and each time could not have got a cheaper rate had I gone directly to the venue. Simply a cost-effective, quality service.
