At the end of the day everyone, it is hard to organise a conference in Sydney (or anywhere else for that matter) if the organiser/s live in the Gold Coast/Brisbane area .

Mark I recon you do it in Brissy or Gold Coast again - simple, lovely weather that time of year too. Accomodation of all types and costs everywhere etc Flights are cheap in Australia and it is a National conference after all, what do people expect, it can't be everywhere. As you say it will be cheaper registration too.

It will logistically be much easier for you to manage if you live in the same city. International guests will be perfectly used to going where the conference is regardless.

I am moving back to Canberra in the coming months anyway but I am very happy to fly to Brisbane.
