BREAKING NEWS. Have you heard of a “Break-In” session?

The “Break-In” as it was coined, was a brainchild of AV1 for a speaker showcase, just after the Sydney Convention Centre closed down. With a shortage of available conference spaces, form followed function and the idea became a reality.

**Unlike Break-Out sessions where your guests leave the plenary room, for a Break-In they stay put.**

It’s different and very convenient for your guests.

**Best of all, it saves on additional room hire costs and makes previously unsuitable venues become a possibility!**

For a recent conference, we ran four simultaneous Break-In sessions with everyone still in the same room.
