Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±¼Ç¼

Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±¼Ç¼ is committed to supporting sustainability practice and reducing the impact of events on the environment.

Every little change we make as event planners and conference attendees is a step in the right direction. We encourage all attendees, sponsors, exhibitors and suppliers to also consider environmentally friendly options when attending a ‘No Frills’ conference.

Our efforts to reduce our carbon footprint include:

• Printed materials are kept to a bare minimum. Attendees are encouraged to use electronic resources such as referring to the event app or conference website.

• Sponsors and Exhibitors are encouraged to exercise environmental values and practices in their participation.

• Provide exhibitors with trestle tables rather than booths.

What you can do:

• If budget allows, when booking your flight, choose to offset your carbon footprint.

• Choose to follow the waste separation instructions at the venue and at your accommodation.

• Bring a reusable bag to carry your conference materials in.

• Recycle where possible.

• Go paperless where you can and make use of the event app.

• Use a reusable water bottle and refill from dedicated water stations.

One of the reasons we have chosen to host the 2025 ‘No Frills’ conference at the Robina Events Centre is because of their strong sustainability focus. The Robina Events Centre takes pride in reducing their carbon footprint and ensuring that each event they host is eco-friendly. From utilising energy-efficient technologies to sourcing locally-sourced and sustainable products, they are dedicated to making a positive impact on the environment.

To further their commitment to sustainability, they have taken various steps to reduce their carbon footprint and minimize their impact on the environment. The Robina Events Centre is equipped with energy-efficient lighting, recycle and compost waste, and work with local suppliers who share their commitment to sustainability.

We have arranged for shuttle buses to transport delegates to and from the Robina Events Centre and the recommended accommodation locations (Mermaid Waters Hotel by Nightcap Plus, Meriton Suites Broadbeach, Gold Coast and Mercure Gold Coast Resort) throughout the conference.

This is a free service that delegates will be required to opt into this during their registration to confirm their seat. To check that this is included on your registration or to add this to your registration, click the 'edit registration' button on the top right-hand side of the registration page or email events@ncver.edu.au. Delegates that have not confirmed this on their registration by Monday 23 June 2025 are not guaranteed a seat on the shuttle buses.

Delegates staying at alternative hotels are also welcome to use the shuttle buses if they can make their way to and from the designated stops. It is the responsibility of the delegate to ensure they are at the designated stops by the scheduled times. No alternate transport will be arranged for delegates who miss the shuttle buses.

Please find the schedule for the shuttle buses here.
