Conference and Events Sales Manager

Conference & Events Sales Manager

Are you ready to bring your "A" game to the table every day? If you've got a winning mindset, this could be your calling.

Welcome to Chapter Place – a conference and events venue unlike any other. Positioned as a gamechanger in the Victorian conference and events scene, this destination is truly unique.

Imagine a 170-year-old bluestone castle style building, complete with a hatted restaurant, a world-first urban retreat housed in a converted jail, and a wine bar that The Australian has dubbed "perhaps the most Melbourne thing ever."

Now, add a modern Adina Apartment Hotel tower, all set in the heart of Melbourne's vibrant arts community.

Chapter Place offers nine extraordinary spaces, each reminiscent of the country's best regional MICE venues, yet just 20 minutes from the CBD and the airport.

These walls have seen it all, but you’ll bring new energy. Here at Chapter Place, you'll create and deliver conferences and events that not only set industry benchmarks but break and redefine them.
