Encore Event Technologies is proud to announce its appointment as the exclusive in‑house event production partner at Novotel Sunshine Coast Resort, one of Queensland’s most iconic beachfront destinations. This partnership marks another milestone in Encore’s continued commitment to delivering world‑class event experiences across the Asia‑Pacific region.
Nestled between the ocean and river, Novotel Sunshine Coast Resort offers a rare combination of natural beauty and contemporary facilities. Located in Twin Waters just minutes from Sunshine Coast Airport, the resort provides conference and incentive groups with a unique coastal destination that blends large-scale event infrastructure with resort-style accommodation and outdoor experiences.
In recent years the resort has undergone significant transformation, unveiled a new lobby precinct, upgraded guest rooms and upgraded event spaces supported by a comprehensive technology refresh across the entire property. The next stage of this evolution will see 178 guest rooms and suites refurbished, further elevating the guest experience and completing the resort’s broader transformation as one of the Sunshine Coast’s leading conference and leisure destinations.
With audiences now spanning multiple generations within a single event, planners increasingly expect seamless, engaging and technology-enabled experiences. As Novotel Sunshine Coast’s event solution’s partner, Encore provides deep understanding of customer experience which enables every event to be thoughtfully personalised, ensuring each guest feels considered, engaged and connected.
The resort’s flexible event spaces provide the perfect canvas for Encore to adapt and reimagine experiences from one event to the next, blending creative design with cutting‑edge technology. Rather than delivering a standard audiovisual solution, Encore partners closely with the venue team to curate immersive environments — from arrival moments through to the final interaction — elevating lighting, audio and visual elements to support the intent of each event and the expectations of every audience
At the heart of the resort is the Sunshine Coast Convention Centre, a purpose‑built 3,300 square metre venue capable of hosting more than 1,400 delegates. With over ten versatile function spaces and expansive outdoor areas overlooking a private lagoon, the venue is ideally suited to conferences, gala dinners, exhibitions and incentive events.
As the trusted in‑house partner for more than 120 premier hotels and venues across APAC, Encore brings award‑winning service, seamless integration and industry‑leading technology to every event. From bold creative concepts and cutting‑edge technology to flawless production and execution, Encore transforms ideas into immersive, memorable experiences.
“We are delighted to welcome Encore as our in-house event production partner,” said Michael Daviss, General Manager of Novotel Sunshine Coast Resort and Portfolio General Manager, Accor – Shakespeare Property Group. “The Sunshine Coast Convention Centre continues to attract a diverse range of conferences, incentives and events, and Encore’s creative production and technical expertise will help us elevate the delegate experience even further. This partnership strengthens our ability to deliver seamless, high-impact events in one of Australia’s most inspiring coastal destinations.”
Nicole Russell, Regional General Manager for Encore across NSW, QLD and ACT, also shared her enthusiasm for the partnership:
“This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to innovation, sustainability and exceptional guest experiences. Together, we’re giving event planners access to cutting‑edge technology and creative expertise in one of Australia’s most sought‑after destinations.”
By combining Novotel Sunshine Coast Resort’s outstanding facilities with Encore’s creative and technical capabilities, this partnership sets a new standard for events in Queensland. Together, Novotel and Encore are ready to deliver unforgettable experiences that inspire, impress and elevate every occasion.
