Conventions are held in KCC's 2400+ seat auditorium at Katoomba, in the Blue Mountains approximately 100 km (62 miles) west of the Central Business District of Sydney, Australia.

At present there are 6 conventions (many of them run over 2-3 identical weekends).

The site also hosts the annual CMS Summer School, organised by the Church Missionary Society which draws 4,000 people for a week in January to focus on world mission.
