Accommodation information
The Panorama Hotel is now fully booked.
If you are coming to the conference, there are plenty of fantastic options in St Helens as well as along the East Coast within 30 minutes of the venue, including in Scamander, Beaumaris, Stieglitz, and Binalong Bay.
In the past, most delegates have arrived the evening before the conference starts, and we host an informal event that evening. This means delegates would be looking at booking three nights of accommodation, arriving Tuesday 17 September, and checking out Friday 20 September. The conference will officially start at around 9:00am on Wednesday 18 September.
