About Adelaide

Adelaide, the capital of South Australia, is a civilised and calm city, but has seen enormous growth over the last 10 years. Home to around one million people, the city is surrounded by a diverse range of landscapes , including green parkland, the Mount Lofty Ranges and coastal beaches.

The Traditional Owners of the Adelaide region are the Kaurna people. The area of the city centre and surrounding Park Lands is called Tarndanya in the Kaurna language.  It is divided into two parts, Adelaide and North Adelaide, separated by Torrens River.

Referred to as the festival capital of Australia, Adelaide is a great place to experience the culture and convenience of a nice sized city without many of the frustrations of a larger city. Adelaide is surrounded by parklands, together with a range of historic buildings, wide streets, various street cafes and restaurants and shops of all descriptions. Walking is a popular way to enjoy the city with several short walks enabling you to enjoy much of the city.

Adelaide’s ‘city in a park’ is the perfect example of a sustainable business event destination. The South Australian Government has the goal of achieving 100% renewable energy by 2030 and is reducing its reliance on fossil fuels for electricity at almost double the rate of comparable cities around the world. National Suicide Prevention Conference delegates will enjoy a clean, green and walkable city, with the Adelaide Convention Centre and hotels being in easy proximity.

There is so much more to see and do in South Australia. Why not extend your stay in one of SA’s beautiful wine regions?  Sample the outback in the vast landscape of the Flinders Ranges? Take a short flight to the seafood capital of Australia, Port Lincoln. Or, indulge in a luxury escape on the world renowned Kangaroo Island. You are never too far away from your next adventure.

The Conference organisers have secured discounted accommodation options for NSPC delegates, all within close proximity to the Adelaide Convention Centre. Please book your accommodation through the online registration system.
