Why Event Planners Love All-Inclusive Day Delegate Packages

Planning Corporate Events Doesn’t Have to Be Complicated

Corporate event planning often involves balancing multiple moving parts—budgets, travel logistics, catering, audio-visual requirements, and flexible space needs. Managing separate suppliers and unexpected costs can quickly turn a straightforward meeting into a stressful experience.

All-inclusive Day Delegate Packages offer a smarter alternative. Designed to simplify planning while delivering maximum value, these packages help event organisers save time, reduce stress, and stay on budget. Whether you’re hosting a conference, strategy session, or training day, Day Delegate Packages provide everything you need in one streamlined solution.

What Is an All-Inclusive Day Delegate Package?

A Day Delegate Package (DDP) is a fixed-price meeting solution that includes all the essential elements required to host a successful event—bundled together for clarity and value.

Catering to group sizes of 25 and up, a full-day conference package includes:

• Full-day (8-hour) plenary meeting room hire
• Continuous coffee and tea station
• Morning tea, lunch, and afternoon tea
• High-speed Wi-Fi
• Water station, pens, and notepads

By covering the core requirements in one flat per-person rate, Day Delegate Packages remove guesswork and ensure delegates remain comfortable, focused, and well-fuelled throughout the day.

Clear Pricing That Simplifies Event Planning

One of the biggest advantages of an all-inclusive Day Delegate Package is pricing transparency. With a fixed per-person rate, budgeting becomes far simpler—making forecasting, approvals, and internal sign-off faster and more predictable.

Rather than booking standalone room hire (which can quickly absorb budgets), your package automatically includes a main plenary room suited to your group size and event format. This removes the need to juggle separate venue and catering costs.

Having everything bundled together also eliminates the need to manage multiple suppliers or chase individual quotes—an invaluable benefit for planners managing multiple events or tight timelines.

Simplifying Event Management from Start to Finish

Day Delegate Packages allow organisers to focus on event outcomes, not logistics. With everything coordinated in one place, the planning process becomes far more efficient.

From the initial enquiry, Novotel Melbourne Preston’s experienced events team works closely with you to assess catering requirements, AV needs, and room set-up preferences. As an on-site team, they understand the venue inside out—recommending layouts, menus, and schedules that work best for your objectives.

This hands-on coordination removes the need to manage floorplans, equipment, or catering suppliers independently, saving time while delivering a seamless event experience.

Half-Day Packages for Corporate Events

Not every event requires a full-day agenda. If your meeting runs for a shorter timeframe, a Half Day Delegate Package offers the same simplicity and value in a condensed format.

This option includes:

• Half-day (4-hour) meeting room hire
• Catering inclusions, with lunch and one tea break (morning or afternoon) 
• All essentials such as Wi-Fi, water, pens and notepads

It’s an ideal solution for workshops, briefings, and planning sessions where flexibility and cost efficiency are key.

Add-On options for Meeting Packages

While Day Delegate Packages are designed to be all-inclusive, they still offer plenty of flexibility to suit your event requirements.

Additional options include:

• Breakout rooms – With 13 versatile conference spaces available, there’s ample room to add on an additional venue space for workshops and smaller group sessions
• AV enhancements – With high-tech, in-built equipment, work with our trusted AV partners to add on the tech that brings your visuals, audio and virtual meetings to life.
• Catering upgrades – Add fresh fruit platters, networking drinks or premium options such as shucked oysters
• Parking and accommodation – Ideal for multi-day conferences or delegates travelling from interstate

On-site AV and catering ensure schedules stay on track, while reliable technology supports focused, energised delegates. The events team will guide you through each addition to ensure your event runs smoothly.
