ACCOMMODATION TIPS
OTHER OPTIONS
If you prefer to stay elsewhere, we recommend making a booking ASAP to secure your preferred venue and dates. Booking later may mean much longer walking distances, or even a taxi, as the more convenient options do tend to fill up.
We are expecting over four hundred attendees, and accommodation demand will also be affected by other events, or visitors, to Adelaide.
Hotel Booking Sites like Booking.com can be used to locate accommodation alternatives near the Adelaide Convention Centre.
Such sites also often have the option to book now at no cost but pay later. And importantly you can cancel later, such as by 18th July 2026 for free (So you can switch to another hotel later if desired at no cost).
Note too that you might use these booking sites to locate options but then book instead direct with the property identified as that can at times produce a lower rate.
parking
The Adelaide Convention Centre has two car parks open to the general public. Maps for each of the carparks are shown below and under the ‘Important Links’ box above.
