Tips for a Smooth Trip

  • Getting around: Perth has a reliable public transport network (trains, buses, ferries). Check local schedules in the planning guide.
  • Weather: Pack layers — mornings and evenings can be cool, especially if you’re heading outdoors.
  • Stay local where you can: Support local businesses, discover off-beat spots. Some of the best finds are unplanned.

We can’t wait to welcome you to Perth. Whether you are only coming for the conference or taking some extra time to explore, there is plenty waiting for you.
