Indoor Synthetic Field transformed into Cocktail venue
The AIS Indoor Synthetic Field takes on a new look

05 Feb 2009

Inspirational, motivational and exceptional are just three words commonly used to describe the Australian Institute of Sport.

Only minutes from Canberra's city centre, the AIS boasts over 12 event venues and an experienced events and catering team, ensuring that your next event is one to remember.

The versatile venues at the AIS are easily themed for any function, and of course being the home of Australian sport, sports-themed events are a speciality.

Your next gala dinner, cocktail party or corporate incentive can include special guest speakers from the AIS - including AIS athletes, coaches, sports scientists and more.

One of the more unique venues at the AIS was recently transformed by Rocket Events Services, as the AIS hosted a Canberra Convention Bureau networking night for over 100 local event planners and organisers.

Usually used by the Institute's next generation of Socceroos, the indoor synthetic field became an intimate and amazing cocktail venue, as guests mingled with Bureau members and AIS athletes and staff.
