Georgian Conference and Event Services

Some gatherings need flexibility above all: room for a crowd, a kitchen that can handle a full dinner, and a team that looks after the details.

Georgian Conference and Event Services operates on Georgian College's Barrie Campus at One Georgian Drive, offering meeting and event facilities year-round for gatherings from around 10 people to much larger events.

The campus lists banquets and galas among the events it hosts. Facilities range from boardrooms and classrooms to lecture halls of up to 256 people, the Georgian Theatre for up to 700, and a 20,000-square-foot, pillar-free athletic centre that can hold up to 1,400 people.

On-campus caterers can prepare anything from a three-course plated dinner to lighter refreshments, and the Marketplace cafeteria can seat up to approximately 300 guests in a fixed seating arrangement.

The event team offers day-of assistance, menu planning for any taste or dietary restriction, room setup and audio-visual support, work with off-site vendors, and wayfinding and signage.

Accommodation is close at hand as well. From May to August each year, Georgian's residence operates as a hotel through the Residence and Conference Centre Barrie, which can help with group overnight stays for multi-day events.

For hosts who want a large, flexible space in Barrie with catering, accommodation and event support in one place, Georgian Conference and Event Services offers a practical campus setting for a gathering of almost any size.
