Optus Stadium

Forget windowless hotel ballrooms. The River View Room sits on the banks of the Swan River, built to spark creativity, not fatigue.

Why it matters

Better views than a hotel basement.

The River View Room is flooded with natural light, with floor-to-ceiling views of the Swan River and the Perth CBD.

Combined with the latest event technology from the team at PAV, it is a setting designed to keep you energised, inspired and focused from the first keynote to the final sundowner.

The stadium itself was named the most beautiful sports facility in the world at the Prix Versailles.

“It would be hard to find a better conference venue than this! Loved it.”

“Absolutely stunning conference destination. Could not fault it at all. Watching people zipline across the river while watching a talk, can not beat it!!”

Getting here

Train, rideshare or car.

Train

Perth Stadium Station

Take the Armadale or Thornlie-Cockburn line to Perth Stadium Station, then follow the State of Social signage for a five-minute walk. Trains arrive roughly every 7.5 minutes. Several bus routes also serve the stadium parkland.

Check Transperth for scheduled line maintenance the day before you travel.

Rideshare and taxi

Marlee Loop

Uber or taxi: use the dedicated rideshare hub at Marlee Loop, off Victoria Park Drive. It is a short walk to the entrance.

Car

Complimentary parking

Drive in via Victoria Park Drive and event staff will direct you to a park.

Planned for everyone.

Optus Stadium is fully wheelchair accessible, with lifts to all levels and wide, clear paths of travel. Conferences can be loud, so there are dedicated quiet spaces for anyone needing a break, and a parents’ room on site.

From gluten-free to vegan, the catering is designed so no one goes hungry. Anything else that would help? The access page has the detail.
