Where is Adelaide?
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.

Our City, Our State
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. 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 CBD 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.

Cuisine
Boasting more restaurants per capita than any other Australian city, Adelaideans love to dine out and alfresco dining is their most popular pastime. Eclectic dining precincts include Rundle Street East, Gouger Street and Hutt Street. It is a fact that many of Australia’s most innovative chefs are based in Adelaide. Options range from casual cafes to sophisticated dining, and there’s cuisine from all corners of the globe including Italian, Greek, Thai, Vietnamese, Indian, French, Chinese, Modern Australian and fusion mixtures that blend the best together. And, ask any visitor, Adelaide restaurant food and wine is the best value for money in Australia.

Adelaide is famous for its markets! The Adelaide Central Market is a jewel conveniently located right in the centre of the city. Here, amongst the orderly rows of stalls, merchants fuss over mountainous supplies of fresh produce and dotted here and there, salamis, wursts, cheeses, olives, and wood oven fired bread in continental stalls fill the air with mouth watering aromas. You'll find mysterious dried herbs and condiments from the Orient, you can pick a fresh lobster from the fishmonger's tank and select a baguette fresh from the baker's oven. Adelaide has its share of great markets including the Fisherman's Wharf at Port Adelaide, the Rundle Street Markets in the City's East End, the Adelaide Festival Centre Arts and Craft Market and the Junction Markets, just to mention a few.
