Hosting a medical presentation or CPD (Continuing Professional Development) night is a valuable way to engage clinicians, build trust with healthcare professionals, and deliver lasting brand impact. But the venue you choose can make or break the experience—especially when your guests are time-poor and expecting professionalism.
If you’re planning a medical education night, CPD dinner, or healthcare seminar in Brisbane, here’s what to look for in a venue—and why Factory51 is trusted by doctors, dentists, and optometrists alike.
Why Venue Choice Matters for Medical Presentations and CPD Nights
Medical professionals are busy. When they choose to attend a dinner or presentation, it needs to be easy, worthwhile, and smooth-running from the moment they arrive. That means:
-
A convenient location close to hospitals or clinics
-
Professional AV that’s tested and reliable
-
Quality food delivered on time
-
Space that supports learning and discussion
-
A team that understands how medical events work
The right venue supports your content. The wrong one creates friction.
Ensure Privacy, Professionalism, and Comfort
Whether you’re presenting CPD-accredited material or hosting a sponsored educational event, your audience needs a quiet, private, and comfortable setting. You can’t afford interruptions from general diners, loud music, or clunky service.
Factory51’s Workshop Room delivers:
-
Private entrance and bathrooms
-
Soundproofed walls for uninterrupted focus
-
Elegant but neutral styling for a professional tone
-
Configurable layouts for theatre, cabaret, or banquet seating
It’s a refined, fully private venue—not a side room in a noisy pub. And it’s tailored to the needs of healthcare professionals.
Choose a Location Close to Major Medical Precincts
Location matters—especially after hours. Factory51 is based in Coorparoo, just minutes from Brisbane’s key health precincts:
That makes us convenient not just for GPs and specialists, but also for dentists, optometrists, allied health teams, and admin staff working nearby. We’re far enough from the CBD to avoid parking stress, with easy ride-share access and ample street parking.
Prioritise Flawless AV and Presentation Tech
CPD events live or die by their tech. Slides, clinical content, video calls with reps—it all relies on AV that just works.
At Factory51, we include:
-
Drop-down HD projector screen
-
Wireless microphone and speaker system
-
HDMI/USB-C plug-and-play connection
-
Lighting that dims for presentations
-
Pre-event testing with on-site support
Whether you’re presenting live data, showcasing devices, or hosting a hybrid event, our tech is reliable and ready.

Support Genuine Conversation and Networking
Healthcare events aren’t just about education—they’re also about connection. Whether you’re engaging new referral partners or building rapport between reps and clinicians, your venue should make networking easy.
Factory51’s Workshop Room encourages conversation with:
-
Long banquet tables or small round setups
-
Velvet lounge areas for informal chats
-
Optional private bar

Flexible timing for post-presentation drinks
We’ve hosted dental study groups, CPD nights for optometrists, and specialist education dinners—and in every case, the venue flow supports relationship-building, not just presentations.
Flexibility for Ever-Changing Medical Schedules
You need a venue that understands late RSVPs, last-minute speaker changes, or dietary updates on the day. We don’t lock you into rigid numbers weeks in advance—we flex with your team.
Factory51 provides:
-
Adjustable seating configurations
-
Extra meal prep on short notice
-
Updated run sheets if a speaker’s delayed
-
Bar tab adjustments based on actual turnout
Your event manager will be in contact right up until the day—and we’re happy to pivot as needed.
