Congress Opens
With thanks to
Sydney Convention & Exhibition Centre (SCEC)
The Congress will be held at the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre (SCEC), Darling Harbour. This large purpose-built facility, seen in the foreground of the accompanying photograph, is set in 50 hectares of parks, gardens, museums, shopping malls and amusement areas. Nestled on the shores of Darling Harbour, the venue has magnificent views of the city and is only a short walk to several attractions. Next to the Convention Centre is the Harbourside shopping and restaurant complex.
With a wide range of sizes of meeting rooms and exhibition halls, SCEC will provide a fully integrated facility for the conference and exhibition. It is within walking distance of many of Sydney's attractions, including the National Maritime Museum, Sydney Aquarium, Star City Casino and the IMAX Theatre.
This map below shows the conference centre in relation to the attractions of the area and the Sydney central business district.
