Venue
The conference will be held at the National Convention Centre, Canberra’s only purpose built conference venue. Situated on Glebe Park in the city’s heart, the National Convention Centre has recently undergone an extensive refurbishment and is now state of the art. The Centre is also a one-minute walk to the CBD, the city’s major shopping centre. Located nearby are all of Canberra’s icons: Parliament House, Questacon, the Australian War Memorial, the National Gallery of Australia and the National Museum of Australia.
The Host City
Canberra is one of the world’s most picturesque national capitals, home to many of our country’s cultural treasures and national icons. Canberra is a place where people have always gathered. Even the name is appropriate, being the Aboriginal word for ‘meeting place’. Canberra is home to the national parliament, the major national institutions and host to numerous national and international attractions and events. Nestled in the bushy countryside which surrounds Canberra are many very attractive small towns, each with their own places of interest. The wineries in the Canberra region are highly acclaimed.
