Planning a Corporate Event in Sydney? 5 Event Companies Worth Talking To (and the Activity That Makes Them Better)
Whether it's a conference, a end-of-financial-year function, a corporate retreat or a team celebration, getting a Sydney corporate event right usually starts with finding the right event company to run it. The market is full of options — from boutique specialists to global agencies — so we've put together a shortlist of five worth knowing about, along with a note on the one addition that seems to make almost any corporate event land better: a shared activity guests actually engage with, rather than just watch.
1. OzParty
Founded in 2009 and based in Sydney's inner city, OzParty has built its name around corporate and social events at scale — delivering events for tens of thousands of attendees each year across conferences, incentives, Christmas parties and team building days. What sets OzParty apart is its focus on "group activity experiences" as a core part of the offering, not an afterthought — they're set up to plug in an activity component alongside the logistics of the day.
This is exactly where a VR session fits well: OzParty's corporate clients booking a team building day or an EOFY function are already looking for an activity that gets a group interacting, which is precisely what a shared VR experience delivers.
2. On Purpose Events
On Purpose Events has been operating since 2009 out of Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, with a strong focus on sustainability alongside corporate conferences, incentive travel and retreats. Their clients tend to care about the environmental footprint of an event as much as the outcome — which makes an indoor, reusable-equipment activity like VR an easy fit for a corporate retreat or offsite that wants to minimise waste compared to a catered activity with disposable materials.
For companies planning a retreat through On Purpose Events, a VR session offers a genuine team-building component without adding single-use waste to the day.
3. Pink Caviar Events
Based in Sydney's CBD with more than two decades in the industry, Pink Caviar Events specialises in the more polished end of corporate events — conferences, gala dinners and executive experiences with strong production and styling. For a corporate client of Pink Caviar's running a gala or an executive function, a VR activation can work well as a standout entertainment element that guests remember well after the canapés are gone.
4. Lateral Events
Now in its third decade, Lateral Events is one of Sydney's most established names in large-scale corporate and public events — conferences, brand activations and even full theatrical productions. Lateral's client base skews toward big-budget, high-production events, which makes them a useful reference point for scale, even if a VR activity is more likely to feature as one element of a broader program than the centrepiece.
5. cievents
Founded in 1986 and now operating as part of Flight Centre Travel Group's events division, cievents is a genuinely global agency with offices spanning Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, London, New York and beyond. For large enterprise clients running multi-country programs, cievents is hard to beat on scale and reach — worth knowing about even if their typical program size sits well above what a single activity venue like VR Quest would usually be booked for directly.
Why an Activity Component Changes a Corporate Event
Across all five of these companies, the pattern is the same: the events that get talked about afterwards are the ones where people did something together, not just sat and watched a presentation or ate a meal. A shared VR experience solves the same problem an icebreaker is meant to solve — except it actually works, because people are genuinely engaged rather than going through the motions.
It also breaks down hierarchy fast. Seniority doesn't help anyone aim straighter or solve a cooperative puzzle faster, which tends to level the room between junior and senior staff in a way a seated dinner never does.
Adding VR to Your Next Corporate Event
Whichever event company you're working with, a VR session from VR Quest can be booked as a standalone team building activity, or worked into a broader event program as an activation. Sessions run from our venue in St Peters (Studio 6, 1-7 Unwins Bridge Road, St Peters NSW 2044), a short trip from the CBD and well suited to groups gathering from across Sydney's inner west and eastern suburbs.
