Your host city
Canberra is so much more than Australia’s capital. It offers a unique blend of culture, history, and natural beauty, making it the perfect destination to extend your stay before or after the conference. As Australia’s capital city, Canberra boasts iconic landmarks like Parliament House, the National Gallery of Australia, and the Australian War Memorial, offering rich insights into the country’s heritage and contemporary identity.
Beyond the city’s cultural attractions, you’ll find vibrant dining precincts, boutique wineries, and sprawling green spaces ideal for outdoor adventures. September is an especially beautiful time to visit, with Floriade, the city’s renowned celebration of spring, in full bloom. Whether you’re exploring world-class museums, enjoying a sunset walk around Lake Burley Griffin, or sampling the region’s finest produce, Canberra promises an experience that’s (almost) as enriching as the conference itself.
Our university host
As host of this year’s conference, the Australian National University (ANU) provides an inspiring backdrop for our event. Renowned as one of the world’s leading universities, ANU is at the forefront of innovation, research, and education in Australia. Situated in the heart of Canberra, the campus is a vibrant hub that blends cutting-edge facilities with a rich heritage, creating a dynamic environment for learning and collaboration.
Delegates will enjoy the opportunity to engage with the campus’s stunning natural setting, which features tree-lined avenues, heritage architecture, and a strong connection to the surrounding bushland. ANU’s commitment to excellence and its close ties to the nation’s capital make it the ideal host for a conference that celebrates leadership, innovation, and the future of the tertiary education sector.
