Partner Program

 

Adelaide is a key Australian tourist destination bursting with culture, great food, wine and entertainment. For many of you, this will be your first time travelling to Australia

so it’s a great opportunity to extend your stay and bring your partner along.

 

While you’re busy at the Congress we have planned two fabulous days for partners of attendees, where they will enjoy a true Australian experience.

 

No visit to Adelaide is complete without a trip to Barossa Valley. This is one of the world’s top wine growing regions, which is famous for its Shiraz grapes.

 

Day two is a walking tour of Central Adelaide, visiting bustling markets, a cruise on River Torrens and a visit to Adelaide Zoo which is home to over 2500 animals and 250 exotic and native animals. This is not to be missed.
