Escape the CBD: Why Your Q1 Strategy Day Needs an InterContinental Bayside Retreat (Plus an Exclusive Offer)

Are your team’s creative juices running dry in the concrete jungle?

As we move rapidly through Q1, the pressure to finalize strategies, lock in annual goals, and unite teams is at an all-time high. But booking a venue in the heart of the CBD often results in the same outcome: a windowless room, lackluster coffee, and a team counting down the minutes until 5 PM.

At REIT Conferences, we believe environment dictates performance. That’s why we are thrilled to announce an exclusive partnership with InterContinental Sydney Double Bay for events held between February and April.

The “Village” Vibe Just 5km from the City
Described as Sydney’s “Bayside Retreat,” the InterContinental offers a distinct advantage over city venues. It feels like an escape. Located just 15 minutes by ferry or taxi from the CBD, the venue utilizes its chic village location to offer a “resort” feel that drastically lowers cortisol levels and heightens creativity.

Sustainability Meets Luxury
For planners with CSR mandates, the InterContinental’s “Meeting for Good” initiative (detailed in their latest brochure) is a game-changer. From plastic-free water services to alternate banquet menus featuring locally sourced, plant-based options, your event footprint is minimized without sacrificing the 5-star experience.

The Exclusive Offer: Luxury for $100

Usually, a venue of this caliber commands a premium. However, Paul Reitberger has secured a market-leading rate for our clients.

For all bookings held between February and April, the Day Delegate Package is just $100.00 per person.

This is not a “lite” package. It includes:

• Premium Spaces: Access to modern, light-filled rooms like the pillar-less Grand Ballroom or the intimate Keltie Cove.
• Gourmet Fuel: Morning tea, a standing lunch buffet, and afternoon tea prepared by the culinary team behind The Bar and The Dining Room.
• Essentials: Continuous barista-style coffee/tea (crucial!), complimentary Wi-Fi, and a dedicated events support team.

Perfect for:

• Executive Strategy Days
• Sales Kick-off Workshops
• Corporate Offsites
• Board Meetings requiring privacy and luxury.

Availability is Extremely Limited
Because this offer covers the prime “back-to-business” window of February through April, dates are filling fast.
