The closest airport to the conference is Sunshine Coast Airport. It is a 15 taxi ride from Mooloolaba.

Brisbane International Airport serves more flights and is about an hour drive from Mooloolaba. There are various shuttles that bring you close to the Conference centre. See, thisor this company.

We don't recommend going to the Gold Coast Airport for this conference as it is more than two hour drive away.
