partners in every detail
Great events are never a solo act. As a premier event space in Melbourne's CBD, Zinc works with a trusted circle of industry partners to bring every detail to life, led by our in-house production team, Austage Events. Corporate conferences, product launches, Christmas parties and milestone celebrations alike, it's the experts behind the scenes who make venue hire at Zinc feel effortless.
Designed with sound in mind, our acoustically engineered space is backed by the production pros at Austage Events, one of Melbourne's most experienced audio visual suppliers. Their team works on site at Zinc, so the tech is already in place: LED screens, crystal-clear sound and customisable lighting, built into the room and ready to go.
An inspiring keynote, a lively panel or a playlist that sets the tone: whatever's on the program, expect flawless clarity and zero stress. With the Austage crew on standby throughout your event, you're free to mingle with your guests while they handle the magic behind the scenes.

why in-house makes all the difference
Austage knows Zinc inside out, from every sightline to every corner of the room. That knowledge means faster setup, fewer surprises and a production designed for our space instead of squeezed into it. Because the equipment is already installed, there's no need to bring in an outside AV company, which means no extra trucks, no extended bump-in and no juggling of suppliers. One team and one point of contact take you from the first plan to the final applause.

Conference production, perfected
For conferences and corporate events, Austage brings more than 30 years of experience in technical direction and production. Their team plans your staging, screens, lighting and sound well before the day, so you know exactly how the room will look and feel. Multi-session conferences, awards nights and product launches all get the same polished conference production, which is part of what makes Zinc one of Melbourne's standout corporate event venues and a large event space that never feels impersonal.

Celebrations with presence
Comparing Christmas party venues? This is where Austage really shines. Stage lighting, powerful sound and custom visuals transform the space after dark, turning your end-of-year party into the one everyone talks about until next December. It's one of the easiest ways to lift your celebration, and one of the reasons so many teams come back to Zinc year after year.

Weddings, Beautifully Staged
From the first "I do" to the last song of the night, Austage makes sure every moment of your wedding is seen, heard and felt. Crystal-clear microphones carry your vows and speeches to every corner of the room. Custom lighting complements your styling and builds the mood for the first dance, and the LED screens are perfect for a photo slideshow or a live feed of the ceremony. With the crew quietly managing everything behind the scenes, all you need to do is enjoy the day.
trusted event partners
Beyond AV, we've built strong working relationships with many of Melbourne's best event hire companies, florists, stylists, entertainers and creative suppliers. Whether you have favourites of your own or would like a few suggestions, our team will help everything come together exactly as you imagined.
