COSAC has very demanding needs for quality, service, and attention to detail. A COSAC venue is so much more than a set of meeting rooms. The wrong venue can undermine all the hard work to create a premium event, but the right one can contribute positively to the desired culture and atmosphere.
In Ireland we have the advantage of a unique venue relationship that has lasted for more than 20 years – a home for COSAC with a deep understanding of our distinctive requirements. Participant feedback for the 2023 venue was outstanding and I am delighted to report that, at last, we have found the right collaborative, productive, and understanding venue relationship in Melbourne.
Nestled in the heart of the Collins Square precinct our venue for COSAC APAC combines modern and impressive meeting rooms, state-of-the-art audio visual, function spaces, and memorable dining experiences with service commitments that promise to meet our exacting needs. The integrated, flexible, purpose-built meeting facilities have a dedicated on-site concierge team who provide the advantage of ensuring the promises made by the sales team are flawlessly delivered in reality on the floor. Meetings and events are their core business and we have learned through experience that this exclusive dedication to successful events can deliver benefits over many Australian hotel venues.
Over many years, my management team have developed a venue ‘radar’ to detect the organisational ability, commitment, and warmth of a proposed venue, and Collins Square ticks the COSAC boxes: from sound proofed rooms to support our COSAC trust culture and run special sessions under NDA, to custom-built dinner menus, Collins Square exceeds delegate expectations and helps us create the inspiring, collaborative, and intimate working environment that is so important to the COSAC culture.
So, welcome back to Collins Square, Melbourne! I greatly look forwards to working with you there for COSAC APAC 2024.
Best wishes,
David Lynas, COSAC Chairman
