Located in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), the immediacy of the National Convention Centre to the Australian Government, decision makers and other institutions makes it an ideal place for HIC09.
The National Convention Centre is the largest purpose-built meetings and events facility in the ACT. Following a AU $30 million refurbishment, which was completed in October 2007, the Centre has established itself as a focal point for conferences and events that look to influence the nation.
The Centre is conveniently located between Sydney and Melbourne and is a great destination for delegates with easy access via plane, bus, train or car. The Centre follows up on this theme of ease of access by offering the very best proximity to accommodation, ranging from three star to five star hotels and serviced apartments.
The Centre offers the use of five purpose-built tiered theatres, the Exhibition Hall, Ballroom and five large flat floor rooms. With a compact and logical floor plan, the theatres and flat floor rooms provide a wide variety of choice for event set-ups. For exhibitions held in the Exhibition Hall the new loading dock access is second to none.
