Adelaide's time zone is Central Standard Time which is UTC/GMT +9.30 hours. Adelaide will not be in daylight savings during the conference.

Shopping

Adelaide is full of surprises and shopping is one of them. As more than 75% of the world's opals are mined in South Australia , there are many shops selling solid gemstones and jewellery. South Australia is also the largest producer of Australian wines, which are highly regarded internationally. Shopping in the city is centred around Rundle Mall. Department and specialty stores, boutiques, buskers, arcades and al fresco cafes all add to the atmosphere.

Cuisine

Adelaide has a culinary culture that is both excellent in quality and rich in variety, with more restaurants per capita than any other city in Australia. There are many dining precincts with Gouger Street located only a short stroll from the Hilton. You can choose from a vast menu of multicultural origins, informal or silver service dining, and local delicacies include fresh seafood such as whiting and lobster. The Central Market, the main fresh produce market, is conveniently situated in the city, only a short walk from the Hilton.
