The Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre (BCEC) is located in South Brisbane, a few minutes’ walk from Brisbane’s central business district (over the Victoria Street Bridge).
The conference is being held in the Plaza Auditorium, on the Grey St (river) side of the centre.
It is around 30 minutes by car from Brisbane International Airport.
Alternatively, the AirTrain connects to South Brisbane station, a short walk to BCEC and the two hotels below.
If you are in Brisbane on the evening of Sunday 11 August, join us for the pre-conference Cocktail Reception in the Expo Plus area (Plaza Foyer at BCEC).
Drinks will also be served there at the conclusion of Day One.
We also have an expanded networking lounge this year, complete with barista, workstations and comfy couches.
The Gala Dinner will start from 6.30pm on the evening of Day 1 (Monday 12 August) at The Rooftop, Level 12 at Rydges South Bank Brisbane (adjacent to the conference venue).
As ever, it will be a special evening, with excellent food, premium wines and a live acoustic guitar performance.
Attire is the same as for the conference (business casual).
Space is limited, so attendance is strictly for conference delegates – please purchase your ticket when you register for the conference.
There are many 4 to 5 star hotels close to the venue.
However, we have arranged special rates with a couple that are very close to BCEC.
