Sydney
Destination
A harbour city, a compact meeting precinct and a long list of reasons to stay a little longer.
Sydney as the meeting place
Sydney is a harbour city with a compact centre, a strong research base and a coastline that begins at the edge of the city. For IMLB 2022, that geography made it possible to combine a dense scientific programme with the kind of city that delegates want to explore after the last session.
The meeting was based at Darling Harbour, within walking distance of hotels, restaurants, transport and the central business district. Beyond the venue, the harbour, the historic Rocks district, the beaches and the national parks gave companions and delegates a long list of ways to spend a free morning or an extra day.
