Welcome to the Gold Coast – a destination where iconic beaches, family attractions, rainforest escapes and vibrant dining precincts sit within easy reach of one another. For APCMV delegates, it offers far more than just the Congress venue, with plenty to enjoy before, during or after the event.

The Gold Coast combines professional travel with the ease of a leisure destination. From coastal walks and wildlife encounters to theme parks, shopping and hinterland day trips, there is a wide range of experiences to explore.

Whether you are attending APCMV for the scientific programme alone, or planning a longer stay, the Gold Coast offers a destination experience that combines accessibility, leisure, family appeal and regional exploration.
