A harbour city for a battery meeting
The city, the harbour and the reasons delegates were invited to stay a little longer.
Sydney is a harbour city, and the meeting made the most of it. The venue sits on Darling Harbour, with ferries, light rail and walking routes connecting the convention centre to the rest of the city. For delegates, that meant a conference week that could include a harbour walk before the first session and a ferry after the last one.
The destination story was never separate from the science. A meeting about energy storage was held in a city where the harbour, the weather and the outdoor life make the idea of recharging feel immediate.
Between sessions
The central business district, The Rocks, Barangaroo and the Opera House are close to the venue. Delegates could use a free morning for the Botanic Gardens or a coastal walk, then return for the afternoon programme without losing the day to travel.
Stay a little longer
The campaign encouraged delegates to add a day or two to the trip. The Blue Mountains, the Central Coast and the south coast are within reach for a day trip, while the Great Barrier Reef, Uluru and Tasmania reward a longer stay.
