GMA National Conference 8-12 October 2017 Adelaide Convention Centre // South Australia THE VENUE ADELAIDE CONVENTION CENTRE The Adelaide Convention Centre (ACC) opened its doors in 1987 with twin aims of setting a new benchmark for convention facilities and services in Australia and contributing to the South Australian economy by attracting a high yield tourism sector to the State. Succeeding on both counts, the centre has established a global reputation for excellence, as reflected by a string of awards and a high rate of repeat business, and to date has created more than $1.4 billion in economic benefit for South Australia. Like all good convention facilities, the ACC is constantly evolving and improving. Three major extensions have been completed in the past three decades – the most recent being the striking new East Building, officially opened in August 2017. This years’ exhibition and plenary spaces will be held in Halls L & M respectively on the spacious West Building’s ground floor level (shown in green). The ACC is conveniently located in the heart of the city centre and nestled within the beauty of the Riverbank Precinct, surrounded by parklands and the River Torrens. It is a short five minute stroll across the new ACC plaza from the Official Conference Hotel, the Intercontinental Adelaide.
