Review of Adelaide Convention Centre

Centrelink style service meets cruise ship schmaltz. The layer of architectural glamour on this place is micron thin, with soaring roofscapes, but poor attention to details such as foot-friendly flooring in the exhibition spaces. Something about the design of the halls just saps the energy from an event. And just that relentless Adelaide attitude combining bureaucracy with the expectations of people who believe themselves automatically entitled. It s like a fourth rate circus run by librarians. Not even a decent cafe onsite.
