As we look forward to the easing of restrictions across Australia, the Academy is now taking bookings for the Shine Dome venue for late 2020 and beyond.
The Shine Dome celebrated its 60th anniversary last year, hosting 154 conferences, meetings, weddings, memorials and other events involving a phenomenal 11,000 participants. In August, the Dome opened its doors to the public in celebration of National Science Week and welcomed more than 3000 people in one day, while in November alone a record 36 events were hosted at the Dome.
Earlier this year, the unique building attracted the attention of Grand Designs host Kevin McCloud on his Australian tour, and an opening sequence to the popular series was filmed at the Dome. In March the Dome was one of the participating locations in Canberra’s famous Art, Not Apart festival, attended by over 2000 people.
The Dome is the perfect choice of venue for corporate events, conferences, meetings, lectures, private celebrations and much more. Its central theatre is surrounded by an array of multi-purpose venue spaces, all of which are naturally well-lit.
The pathway bordering the moat provides views of the city and the hills beyond. It’s a location that makes any event memorable.
We are welcoming bookings for late 2020 and all of 2021 and our team can help you with your plans.
Our professional audio-visual team are on-hand to help with the technical aspects of events. We also work with local caterers and our menu features a range of Canberra produce.
Should physical distancing or travel restrictions still be in place closer to your booking date, the venue team will help you rearrange your event date and transfer all money paid to the new date.
For all enquiries visit the Shine Dome website or contact the team on shinedome@science.org.au.
Here are the experiences of just a few of our happy clients.
Mez Kinder, Planner Support Education Manager, Client Services, Capability and Learning
“I want to commend your team, specifically Katie Little, for the exceptional service they provided my team when we held our conference at Australian Academy of Science.
“I have no hesitation in stating that Katie is one of the most exceptional event managers I have the pleasure of working with. I run 24 conferences a year at locations all around Australia and if I could deal with Katie to organise every one of them, I’d be a very happy person. She’s efficient, understanding, kind and nothing is a problem for her. She understands my needs as a client, and in some cases knows what I need before I do! I walk into conferences there and do so with absolute confidence that it’s going to be a great day.
“The rest of the team was great too, and it was an absolute pleasure to be a client.”
Leith Boully, Science to Policy Leadership Program
“Thank you for the wonderful support you gave us last week. Given that we often change our minds about what we need it was greatly appreciated that you were not only flexible, you did it with a smile.”
Linda Cumming, Executive officer, Peter Cullen Water and Environment Trust
“Katie and her team are outstanding. They are completely aware of every aspect of each event right down to the smallest detail. They take last-minute changes in their stride, and under pressure they are calm and totally assured. You feel as though yours is the only event they are managing when they are juggling several simultaneously. Personalised and highly professional service in a beautiful venue.”
