LOCATION

We have again chosen the beautiful Gold Coast as the location for our industry’s premier event. Easily accessible from the majority of our growing regions, it enjoys a reputation as one of Australia’s best holiday destinations. Home to a fantastic range of attractions, 57km of stunning beaches,100,000 hectares of World Heritage listed rainforests, award-winning shopping and dining, major events, nightlife and so much more, we encourage sponsors, exhibitors and delegates to bring their partners and family to AusMac2024.

Located in the heart of Broadbeach, just 500 metres to the beach and walking distance to thousands of accommodation options, GCCEC is Australia’s largest regional convention centre and a world leader in sustainable events. GCCEC has a massive main arena, four exhibition halls, and a range of meeting rooms and outdoor spaces that capture the warm, sub-tropical Gold Coast climate. The centre is within a 30-minute drive of Gold Coast airport at Coolangatta and a short walk to the G Link light rail.
