Venue

The courses and conference, nicknamed "Biometrics by the Canals",  will be held at the Sebel Mandurah Hotel in Mandurah, Western Australia . Mandurah is located 72 kilometres south of Perth on the edge of the Peel-Harvey estuary, an idyllic inland waterway of over 130 square kilometres, twice the size of Sydney Harbour, and blessed with abundant marine life and natural beauty.

Recently declared Australia's fastest growing regional destination, the coastal city of Mandurah has become a vibrant tourist attraction with a multitude of activities and entertainment throughout the year. It has delightful restaurants and cafes, crystal clear blue water, and an abundance of activities for the whole family. Mandurah makes for a great getaway!

All registrants will need to organise their own accommodation directly. We have organised special rates for rooms at the conference venue (The Sebel Mandurah Hotel) and also at the Atrium Resort in Mandurah.
