Western Sydney University’s Parramatta South campus will be the vibrant home of the 2026 conference. Set on the banks of the Parramatta River in leafy Rydalmere, the campus combines historic sandstone buildings and landscaped gardens with contemporary teaching spaces and social hubs – an ideal setting for learning, networking, and collaboration.

Parramatta South is the main Western Sydney University campus in the Parramatta district. Tucked just off the busy intersection of Victoria Road and James Ruse Drive, it feels like a green sanctuary within one of Australia’s fastest-growing CBDs. The campus features a mix of heritage-listed buildings, modern lecture theatres, flexible seminar rooms, and open indoor–outdoor spaces perfect for informal conversations and breakout sessions.

Throughout the conference, delegates will benefit from:

• Modern lecture theatres and meeting rooms with AV facilities suitable for presentations, panels, and workshops.
• Scenic outdoor areas and courtyards ideal for coffee breaks and socialising.
• On-campus hospitality options, including café and catered event spaces such as the Parramatta Boilerhouse precinct.

The campus is fully pedestrian-friendly, with clear signage, shaded walkways, and green lawns, making it easy to move between sessions and enjoy the surroundings.

The campus is located in the Parramatta Local Government Area on the southern side of Victoria Road, near the junction with James Ruse Drive. Parramatta South is adjacent to Parramatta North campus, and just a short distance from the Parramatta CBD, restaurants, hotels, and riverfront.
