The future is more about connecting and being able to interact with each other, when it comes to formal and informal gatherings. And keeping things nice and casual is also taking precedence. Event planners and people in general have come to associate large gatherings or events at large spaces creating barriers for conversation or actual dialogue to take place. With the hopes of changing this, many people are opting to have intimate gatherings in small conference venues Melbourne and dedicated spaces.
