Four meeting days; choose the stay that fits
IADR’s 105th General Session, held with the seventh annual meeting of its Asia/Pacific Region, runs from Wednesday 23 to Saturday 26 June 2027 at MCEC. The organiser’s main page and FAQ and the venue’s listing agree on those dates. Check the final programme before fixing travel around a particular session; preliminary timetable details can change.
The default accommodation window is 23–27 June. Arriving on 22 June gives an overnight travel buffer. IADR lists pre-meeting and satellite activities on 21–22 June separately; confirm your eligibility and actual commitments before extending the stay. Accommodation and conference registration are separate bookings.
Choose the entrance, then compare the neighbourhood
The organiser gives MCEC’s address as 1 Convention Centre Place, South Wharf. The venue listing identifies Exhibition Bays, Doors 9–10, with Exhibition Centre access from Clarendon Street. Follow your final registration instructions for the appropriate entrance; the convention and exhibition buildings have different arrival points.
South Wharf accommodation places the convention precinct at the centre of your planning. The MCEC accommodation guide connects the venue to existing hotels and apartments. Compare Southbank stays for another riverside base, or Melbourne CBD accommodation if your itinerary includes city meetings and sightseeing.
Existing accommodation to investigate
Pan Pacific Melbourne is at 2 Convention Centre Place, while Novotel Melbourne South Wharf is at 7 Convention Centre Place. Waterfront Melbourne Apartments provides a Docklands comparison at 17B/60 Siddeley Street, across the river from the South Wharf precinct. Use the actual address, arrival instructions and room category rather than treating the map pin as an entrance.
These are existing catalogue references, not organiser-endorsed hotels or a current availability check. For several nights, confirm the selected room’s work area, kitchen or laundry if those affect your trip. Facilities and bed layouts vary by category. Check cancellation terms, luggage storage and any parking arrangements separately.
Plan departure around your own programme
A 26 June checkout requires a plan for luggage and any later sessions. A 27 June checkout is a starting point, not a requirement to attend every day. The venue’s listed daytime hours do not establish the full scientific or social programme. Allow for your actual session and transport commitments before choosing a departure.
The multi-day meeting supports overnight trip planning. No numerical attendance, hotel demand, room-rate, availability or sellout forecast is made. Compare the organiser’s official housing arrangements separately with public booking options.
Official information and source checks
Dates, identity and venue were checked on 20 October 2026 against IADR’s event page, the organiser’s FAQ and the MCEC event listing. Use those sources for the current programme, registration and access details. The location photograph shows South Wharf and MCEC, not the meeting or its delegates.
