The Crowne Plaza Hotel has accommodation at the upper end of the market but has the advantage of being at the conference venue. We did not secure any rooms.
There is also the YMCA (Bush Capital and Wattle Lodge) but it is quite a distance from the venue and there are no regular buses.
For youth hostels and backpackers Google “Youth hostels in Canberra”. there is one about 200m from the Crowne Plaza.
