Canberra, Australia’s national capital, is a modern city with a cosmopolitan feel. It is a place for all seasons. It is a place of innovation, of community, of co-operation and collaboration. It is the place of sporting and cultural facilities like no other Australian city.

The Canberra Region is also home to more than 800,000 people, providing an enormous market for events held at the AIS. Within a short two-hour drive, the Canberra Region takes in South East NSW and the ACT, stretching from the South-Western Slopes, through the Southern Tablelands by way of Canberra, across to the South Coast then down to the Snowy Mountains, and NSW High Country.
