Optus Stadium

World-class insights deserve a world-class view.

Forget windowless hotel ballrooms. We believe world-class strategy deserves a world-class view.

The River View Room at Optus Stadium—the home of State of Social—is an environment designed to spark creativity, not fatigue. Nestled on the banks of the Swan River, the stadium was recently named the most beautiful sports facility in the world (Prix Versailles).

Why it matters for you

Unlike typical dark conference basements, our space is flooded with natural light and floor-to-ceiling panoramic views. Combined with the latest event technology from the team at PAV, it’s a setting designed to keep you energised, inspired, and focused from the first keynote to the final sundowner.

  • Views to Rival our Speakers: Floor-to-ceiling windows provide a panoramic backdrop of the Swan River and Perth CBD.
  • Award-Winning Architecture: Experience your professional development at the world’s most beautiful sports facility.
  • Seamless Technology: Equipped with the latest tech to ensure every keynote and breakout is crystal clear and actionable.

It’s more than a conference room; it’s a suitably memorable venue for an unforgettable event.
