Accommodation

If you're travelling from interstate or overseas, you're likely looking for a place to stay in Melbourne for the duration of the conference. We've got a couple of deals lined up at hotels in the heart of the city (both an easy walk from our venue, Deakin Edge at Fed Square).

Of course, there are plenty of other options you may wish to explore! Some good places to start with are Airbnb, Wotif, and Booking.com.

Public transport in Melbourne is (mostly) reliable, so you could always stay further afield and take a train or tram into the city. Fitzroy, Collingwood, North Melbourne, Richmond and South Yarra are suburbs that are all quite close with decent transport options. Flinders Street Station (which all trains travel to/from) is just across the road from Federation Square, the complex that includes Deakin Edge (our venue).

Feel free to send us questions on Twitter or by email if you're unsure which options will suit you best.
