Set against one of Sydney’s most iconic backdrops, the ‘All that glitters’ conference dinner will be a night to remember at the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia.

Five women socialize in a park with palm trees, with the Sydney Opera House visible in the background during sunset.
Interior view of an elegantly arranged dining hall featuring round tables with white tablecloths, glassware, and floral centerpieces, set against green marbled columns and large windows.

Begin the night on the terrace with sweeping views across Circular Quay and the Sydney Opera House, before exploring the museum’s latest collection and joining with colleagues for a special evening of connection, celebration and a little sparkle.


Dress code: All that glitters. Think shimmer, shine and anything that catches the light. You bring the sparkle, we’ll bring the harbour lights.

Panoramic view of Sydney Harbour featuring the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge, with boats on the water and people along the waterfront promenade.

5:30pm-6:30pm: Gallery viewing
6pm-7pm: Welcome drinks on the Terrace (with views across harbour to Opera House)
7pm until late: Dinner in the Foundation Hall
