We've held our Entertainment Book launch with Higher Mark for a number of years and can’t talk highly enough of how well these launches run. We have utilised a number of the event spaces which have all worked really well for the large numbers we get to the event and last year, we held our launch in the Geelong Social Club space which was fantastic. The team are very professional and can handle any functions small or large. Our two launch sessions were a brilliant success and our clients always love coming to the Stadium, as it’s a wonderful space to look out onto.
