Which nights should you book for GhMX Gaming, Hobby & Model Expo?
Exhibitors should consider arriving on 2026-11-20 to allow time for stand build-up before the expo opens on 2026-11-21, and plan to depart on 2026-11-22 after breakdown concludes. Visitors attending only one day may only need a single night — for example, staying the night of 2026-11-21 if attending on the final day. If you are there for both days, booking for the nights of 2026-11-20 and 2026-11-21 ensures you’re in place for opening and can leave after closing on the second day.

All listed hotels are within a 14-minute walk of Brisbane Showgrounds, with the closest — Rydges Fortitude Valley and Direct Collective - Pavilion and Governor on Brookes — just 3 minutes away.
