Our venue, the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre overlooks the canal from it's spacious balcony and is meters away from 70 km's of pristine white sandy beaches. The Gold Coast is Australia's #1 vacation destination and holds an abundance of nightlife, shopping, restaurants and with 35 degree Celsius (95 F) summer heat - it's the closest thing to heaven.
