VENUE
Queensland Cultural Centre
The National Early Years Policy Summit at QPAC’s Out of the Box Festival will take place across two iconic venues in Brisbane’s cultural precinct: Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC) and the State Library of Queensland.
Located in South Bank, these venues are easily accessible by public transport and surrounded by cafes, hotels, and green spaces - perfect for networking and reflection between sessions. Both venues offer fully accessible facilities and are just a short walk from each other.
