Venue

Brisbane

Brisbane is a modern, dynamic destination with a youthful spirit, great convention and meeting facilities and an appealing range of leisure activities. In one neat package Brisbane embodies the great Australian destination. From the world-class infrastructure to the excellent transport systems to the global reputation for innovative and emerging industries to the immense options for pre and post touring and partner programs, Brisbane is a destination built for business events. Friendly, engaging, clean and safe, Brisbane is also a destination where people are a priority. This is a city where government and industry work together to support conventions, conferences and exhibitions. That means that across the city, from hotel lobbies to restaurants to retail outlets, your delegates will be welcomed and embraced into the community.

QUT

The conference will take place at the Gardens Point Campus the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) campus, which is close to the city centre, overlooking the Brisbane River, Southbank Parklands and the City Botanic Gardens. The conference will take place in Z Block, Level 4.

Just across the river, in the Southbank Parklands, there are dozens of nice, reasonably priced restaurants where attendees can have lunch overlooking the river.

Accommodation

Brisbane has a wide variety of accommodation available, generally in the city itself or along the Southbank Parklands. Most of this accommodation is within walking distance of QUT and there is a free ‘City Loop’ bus that runs every 10 minutes (with a pick-up/drop-off point right in front of the University). In addition to hotel-style accommodation, there are many apartment buildings that offer 1, 2 or 3 bedroom apartments that can be shared.
