Seminars and company events
Cabravale Events & Conference Centre runs conferences, training days and gala dinners for 20 to 650 people in Canley Vale, in South West Sydney, about 20 km from the CBD. The centre belongs to Cabravale Club Resort, formerly Cabra-Vale Diggers, a club that has served the area since 1925, and it connects directly to the Novotel Sydney Cabramatta.
The program covers keynotes, workshops, networking evenings, product launches and awards dinners. Rooms can be set theater style, classroom, U-shape, banquet or cabaret, and a dedicated AV and event coordination team supports each booking. Packages can add lighting, sound, a DJ, décor or a photo booth. For team building, the club's new outdoor pickleball courts can be hired alongside an event, with a minimum of four courts.
Weddings and receptions
The centre also hosts weddings, end-of-year functions and private celebrations in the same rooms, with plated or multi-course menus, canapés and cocktail platters. Several restaurants and bars inside the club resort take private and large group dining, which helps when a program needs a separate dinner venue on site.
Rooms and capacities
The Auditorium is the largest space, with 650 seats theater style, 400 at banquet and 320 cabaret. Six function rooms sit alongside it and join through movable partitions. On their own they hold 50 to 90 people theater style: Function Room 1 takes 50, Rooms 2, 5 and 6 take 70 each, Room 3 takes 80 and Room 4 takes 90. Combined, Rooms 1 to 3 reach 500 theater style or 300 at banquet, and Rooms 4 to 6 reach 600 theater style or 400 at banquet. Smaller pairs, such as Rooms 2 and 3 or Rooms 4 and 5, take 200 theater style. This range makes it possible to run a plenary and several breakouts under one roof.
Accommodation
The Novotel Sydney Cabramatta is directly connected to the centre and has 140 rooms, including Presidential Suites for speakers and VIP guests. A Stay and Meet package covers group bookings that combine bedrooms with meeting space.
Catering
Catering is prepared on site. A conference day can start with pastries and barista coffee, continue with working lunches and day delegate packages built around sandwiches, wraps, fruit platters or full buffets, and end with canapés, cocktail platters, plated dinners or multi-course menus.
