Why membership?
Venue hire is often transactional in nature. While we value a seamless exchange in the lead-up to your event, we find there is more value in building relationship that leads to meaningful conversation and collaboration between organisations — and ultimately an opportunity to solve big complex problems together. A membership with The Platform comes with a powerful, like-minded community.
As such, member organisations gain access to the full suite of facilities at The Platform for your calendar of events, meetings and workshops, along with a broad network of engaged changemakers.
