Australia's third largest city, Brisbane has a subtropical climate and 240 days of sunshine every year.

With dining and entertainment precincts nestled along the river, all easily accessible on foot by extensive green bridge infrastructure, Brisbane offers a picturesque setting for networking.

The area surrounding the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre is in the vibrant cultural hub of South Bank. This precinct offers a mix of green spaces, diverse dining and entertainment options, hotels, and is a short walk from the city centre and the South Brisbane train station.

Brisbane is Australia’s greenest city, with over 2,180 parks and waterways and over 6,000km of paths, walkways and bikeways running through the city like green arteries. Both South Bank Parklands and nearby Roma Street Parkland have received the Green Flag Award, a global benchmark for the management of green spaces.

Brisbane Airport has the most domestic connections in Australia, with outstanding international access to Asia, North America and Europe. The 24/7 airport is located just 20 minutes from the city centre.
