Everything (we think!) you need to know about getting around the place while you're at the conference - DOWNLOAD THE PDF HERE
Getting around Sydney
The Conference venue, exhibitions and workshops are all accessible by public transport. The best way to do this is to buy an Opal Card. You can buy a card and put money on it once you arrive in Sydney or order an opal card online at
https://www.opal.com.au
The website gives you information about how the opal card works but broadly if you do more than eight trips everything after that is free dying the week (Monday-Sunday) and on Sundays the maximum amount you will pay is $2,50 no matter how far you travel.
In the delegates bag we will provide information about how to get to each of the venues by public transport but if you want to check on anything go to
http://www.transportnsw.info
There are also some real time transit apps you can use while you are here. For information go to

A great way to get to know your fellow jewellers is to share some time with them! So, if you'd like to offer billeted accommodation to one or more interstate or overseas jewellers, please drop us a line via the contact form, located under the HOME button. Alternatively, if you're from out of town and looking to be billeted, please also contact us and we will do our best to match you up with someone. Please note, our role is just to put people in touch with each other. We take no responsibility for what may happen after that!
Coming soon:
Information on accommodation, transport, restaurant suggestions etc.
