  The Gathering will not be the only notable thing happening in Queenstown that weekend, with a range of activities planned to show off Queenstown at its artistic, community and historic best.

  So the Silver Hills Motel would like to invite all conference attendees to linger a little longer in this very special part of Tasmania.
  
  Why not arrive a few days earlier, or relax and explore this amazing Wilderness Region after the conference concludes ?
  
  A once off 20% discount off accommodation rates (down to $80 per night ) is available for pre and post conference accommodation in the same rooms that you will occupy during the conference.
