GOLD COAST 

The beautiful Gold Coast offers something for everyone.  It has a very diverse environment from white sandy open ocean beaches to World Heritage Listed rainforest.  Its climate invites open-air activities including al fresco dining (there are more than 500 restaurants),  golf, sports, an exciting event calendar of culture, sport, racing, music and fine food.

With July temperatures ranging from 11-21^oC it enjoys a subtropical climate and an average of 300 days of sunshine a year. There are plenty of ways for delegates to kick back and relax in Australia’s favourite holiday destination.

Partners and children can enjoy the region’s holiday atmosphere – at theme parks, beaches, shopping centres and World Heritage areas.  

Full details of the Accompanying Persons Programme will be available from March 2008.  Keep an eye on this page for updates!

AirtrainConnect is the most convenient and reliable way to reach Gold Coast accommodation from Brisbane Airport.

Once you have arrived in Brisbane simply make your way to the train station located outside the terminal at the domestic terminal and on level 3 of the international terminal. All trains are air-conditioned and provide a direct service to the Gold Coast where a chauffeured luxury vehicle will meet you, and transfer you to the conference venue (Holiday Inn Surfers Paradise)  – Airtrain matches the number of passengers with the vehicle type, so this can range from a sedan to a large coach depending on how many from the same train are going to the conference hotel or resort.

AirtrainConnect offers a 24 hour* door-to-door service direct to the Gold Coast twice an hour.  Simply pre-book at www.airtrain.com.au/conferences.php

(quoting your conference name in the conference name field of the booking) to receive a 10% discount on your fare.

* Between the hours of 7pm and 6am this service is operated by Con-x-ion coaches.
