Accor has showcased its next-generation meetings and events spaces and facilities across the Pacific at AIME 2026.
As Asia-Pacific’s events sector continues to reach new heights, Accor returns to AIME 2026 with a refreshed and future-focused meetings and events portfolio, reinforcing its leadership across Australia and the Pacific.
With more than 400 hotels, resorts and apartments across the Pacific, Accor offers one of the region’s most diverse meetings and events ecosystems, spanning large-scale convention centres, creative lifestyle venues, coastal retreats and design-led urban addresses.
Business events demand across the Pacific continues to accelerate, with Accor recording a 19 percent growth in conference, incentive and group bookings year-on-year, particularly across major city destinations and resort-based conference precincts. This momentum reflects renewed confidence in face-to-face connection, alongside growing demand for flexible, experience-led venues that support productivity, wellbeing and meaningful engagement.
“Meetings and events are a cornerstone of our growth strategy in the Pacific,” said Adrian Williams, Chief Operating Officer for Accor in the Pacific region.
“We are seeing strong, sustained demand from corporate and incentive planners who are looking for venues that go beyond traditional function spaces - places that inspire connection, creativity and impact. With ALL Accor Meetings & Events, we’ve embedded meetings and events into our broader loyalty ecosystem, recognising the pivotal role organisers play and ensuring their impact is rewarded well beyond the event itself.”
Accor has continued to focus on evolving its portfolio of meetings and events venues, upgrading established conference destinations to meet the changing needs of planners and delegates. Recent transformations include Eden, Shadow Play Melbourne by Peppers, The Adnate Perth – Art Series, and a transformation of Novotel Sunshine Coast Resort.
Accor’s meeting and events footprint across the Pacific was further strengthened through a series of recent additions, further expanding choice for planners in key city and regional markets. Signings in 2025 include Mercure Sydney St Leonards, Saint Kilda Beach Hotel, Mantra Meridien Adelaide, Mantra Hobart Airport and Mantra Mount Gambier. These properties all offer on-site meeting spaces with natural light, reinforcing Accor’s ability to support meetings, workshops and corporate gatherings of all sizes across a broad range of destinations.
