What we do?
Adelaide is nestled between rolling hills and beautiful white sandy beaches, making it the perfect location for your next business event.
A well-laid-out city, Adelaide's CBD is surrounded by a green belt of parklands, and most major attractions and hotels are within a five-minute walk of the GPO, making it easy to navigate by foot.
Just 20 minutes for the city are the picturesque Adelaide Hills, home to market gardens, rolling vineyards and rural farmland. The Hills are also home to an array of native wildlife, best seen at one of the national parks or wildlife sanctuaries in the area.
In the west, Adelaide's stunning coastline stretches for 32 kilometres, and is home to great beaches and popular seaside suburbs such as Semaphore and Glenelg. An hour from the city you can visit the world-famous Barossa or McLaren Vale wine regions.
Adelaide’s world-class conference facilities, cosmopolitan lifestyle and central Australian location have made the city a popular choice with conference organisers from all over the world.
We’ve hosted hundreds of major international and national events over the past 30 years, recently including the World Congress on Information Technology, The World Council of Gifted and Talented Children, The International Federation of Social Workers and The International Pediatric Nephrology Association World Congress.
Adelaide offers all of the benefits of a large international metropolis without the problems of a huge city. 2500 international standard hotel rooms are within a five-minute stroll of the award winning Adelaide Convention Centre, enabling delegates to walk from venue to venue and eliminating transport costs.
Adelaide is cleverly planned, with a square mile Central Business District ensuring restaurants, shopping areas, cultural attractions and conveniences are never further than a few minutes walk. Adelaideans proudly promote our reputation as ‘the twenty minute city’ claiming Adelaide’s place as Australias’ most accessible mainland city and a conference organisers dream destination.
Adelaide is ideally placed with easy access to South East Asia, Oceania and beyond.
Adelaide is also home to Australia’s first purpose-built convention centre, magnificently refurbished and expanded recently and capable of accepting large-scale events for more than 6,000 people. Located overlooking picturesque River Torrens, the Adelaide Convention Centre is a world-class facility.
Adelaide is home to a range of professional businesses that can expertly handle all aspects of organising your event, from logistical arrangements and transporting your guests, to pre and post touring and cutting edge technological requirements. We have a reputation for developing innovative conference social programs that create a memorable and unique experience.
Staging a conference in Adelaide means you will get more value for your dollar without compromising on quality. Australia is renowned as a value-for-money destination and Adelaide consistently ranks as one of the world's most affordable cities.
The 2003 Cost of Living Survey conducted by global economics consultants The Mercer Consulting Group ranked Adelaide 125 out of 146 cities with Tokyo being the most expensive city at number 1.
Importantly, Mercer ranks Adelaide ahead of Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane with cheaper food, accommodation and transport.
Adelaide qualifies as one of the best-planned cities in the world, laid out on a square mile grid pattern, with wide streets and a green belt of parklands encircling the entire city. For conventions and meetings, this means that delegates are never too far away.
In fact there are over 4000 hotel rooms within a 10-minute walk from the Adelaide Convention Centre. Transport costs suddenly disappear and delegates bask in the joy of a city made for walking and exploring.
Australia may be a dream destination, but it is also a very accessible one. More than 54 international airlines regularly fly into Australia's major cities each week from 43 countries, and direct connections exist with major South East Asian cities. Adelaide is also easily accessible from other Australian cities, making the city the perfect gateway to discover the rest of our country.
Adelaide can successfully blend business with pleasure - thanks to the ease in which conference or exhibition delegates can move between their meetings, accommodation and amenities.
Most meetings revolve around a business and social program - and the city allows Meeting Planners the most efficient use of time and resources.
The city has a network of meeting industry professionals and government agencies able to supply support services and facilities catering to any theme or size.
Adelaide shares its enviable lifestyle with visitors every year, who remark on its elegant buildings, galleries, excellent value shopping and dining - and the simple pleasures of exploring the gardens and grand boulevards on foot.
The other great advantage is the city's proximity to a host of special tour destinations - from the Barossa Valley, Adelaide Hills and Fleurieu Peninsula to Kangaroo Island.
New Yorker magazine once described Adelaide as "possibly the last well-planned and contented metropolis on earth."
It is truly a Great Provincial City.
