Destination: Adelaide
Adelaide is a picturesque coastal city that's easy to get to, easy to get around, easy on the pocket, and ‘green’. Adelaide is widely recognised as the 20-minute city. The ease of access and stress free travel is acknowledged by organisers and delegates alike.
The Economist rates Adelaide as the number one business travel destination in Australia and number three in the world. Adelaide is also ranked amongst the top ten most live-able cities in the world, and it’s not hard to see why. Adelaide is also a ‘green’ conference destination. The city is serviced by electric trams and the world's first solar-powered bus. South Australia is a leader in renewable energy and was the first State in the nation to proclaim climate change laws.
Adelaide enjoys a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and short, mild winters. Many tourist facilities are located within walking distance of the CBD and within a few hours, delegates can be anywhere in Australia to enjoy pre- and post-conference holidays.
Prestigious golf courses such as The North Adelaide Golf Course, Royal Adelaide, Kooyonga, Grange and Glenelg are dotted along the coastline and all within 20 minutes drive from Adelaide. All are featured in Australia’s Top 100 Golf Courses.
South Australia has 18 distinct wine regions with over 200 cellar doors within an hour’s drive of the capital city of Adelaide. While South Australia is most famed for its shiraz, cabernet sauvignon and riesling, there are many amazing wines to discover and taste while you are here. Try a cool-climate syrah, pinot noir or chardonnay from the Adelaide Hills, or enjoy glass of grenache from McLaren Vale. You won’t be disappointed!
