5 secrets that will warm up your next winter meeting

As winter brings cold weather and shorter days, hosting a memorable meeting can be hard. Check out these five expert secrets that will make any winter meeting easy as pie.

1.The closer the better

One of the things people hate most about the winter months is travelling in the cold and wet. So, when choosing a venue for your next meeting, make sure it is within close proximity to public transport and major businesses.

Holiday Inn Sydney Airport is the expert in this category. Conveniently located in the heart of the ever-growing Mascot business district and only minutes from Sydney’s international and domestic airport terminals, Holiday Inn Sydney Airport is tailored for a fly-in fly-out meeting, dinner event, seminar or boardroom meeting. With regular shuttle transfers to and from Sydney Airport, close proximity to the Mascot Train Station with only two stops to Central Station and the on-site underground car parking facility, makes travel to and from the venue easy for delegates from anywhere.

2. Everything at your fingertips

Sometimes, winter brings less than favourable weather that means that last thing delegates want to do is leave the hotel. Out expert tips number #2 is make sure that your venue has plenty of indoor facilities and activities. Holiday Inn Sydney Airport boasts 250 spacious accommodation rooms, a 24-hour gym, sauna, business centre, Sirocco Restaurant, Biggles Bar and five flexible function rooms with natural light, a dedicated meetings team and audio visual specialists.
