Welcome to Brisbane, QLD<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Breast Cancer Trials (BCT) 47th Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM) will be held at the Sofitel Brisbane Central, Queensland. The city is framed by the winding Brisbane River and the lush backdrop of Mount Coot-tha, with subtropical wilderness lingering nearby – just beyond the city’s edge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exploring Brisbane is convenient and accessible thanks to its well-connected public transport system. Translink operates an extensive network of buses, trains and ferries, providing reliable services throughout the city and surrounding areas. Key attractions are easily reached by public transport, including the CityCat ferries along the Brisbane River, making it simple for visitors to navigate without the nead for a car. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
