The conference programme includes what is colourful about Melbourne and the Conference Dinner and the Conference itself are in locations that meet the high standards expected of this great city. The programme will focus on the Conference Theme and feature many speakers who will both entertain and share their knowledge for the benefit of Delegates. More about our colourful speakers here.
Dates are Friday 7, Saturday 8 and Sunday 9 September 2018.
The venue for the conference is Quay West Conference Centre, Melbourne located in Southgate on the bank of the Yarra River next to the celebrated Victorian Arts precinct and just a short walk from the CBD. A modern and sophisticated conference venue, it affords us great flexibility for our planned programme and is at the heart of the city’s transport hub.
The Conference Theme is - "Perception & Colour"
The conference programme will commence on Friday, September 7 with a 'Colour Walkabout' to introduce delegates to the colourful aspects of the Arts precincts and many other Architectural and Artisan features of Melbourne. Details here.
This will set the tone of the conference in terms of linking what we all observe and perceive around us, and how this will later be addressed in the presentations and activities of our theme as evoked in our colourful conference logo.
Registration, booked tour assembly point, and the self-guided Walkabout tour information will be available from 9:30am at the Quay West Conference Centre, Room 1 on Friday 7th September day 1 of the Conference.
