Accommodation
Delegates are responsible for their accommodation costs during the Symposium. Brisbane has a wide range of hotels and apartments to choose from. Delegates staying in Brisbane CBD or Southbank can travel to the conference venue at the Translational Research Institute (TRI) via taxi, public bus, or train.
The Symposium does not have a preferred hotel for delegates, but some options are listed below for consideration. More hotel options are available through websites such as www.booking.com and www.expedia.com
Delegates are strongly encouraged to reserve their accommodation early as there is a large conference at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre at the same time as the PCCR Symposium.
