Planning is underway for the Annual Conference, taking place at the Sofitel Brisbane Central, Tuesday 27 - Thursday 29 October 2026, and we’re inviting passionate engagement professionals to help shape this special event.
There are a several ways you can get involved:
1. Suggest Topics and Speakers
Tell us what topics or themes you want to see at the Conference. You can also nominate speakers or panellists you believe would add value to the programme.
2. Submit a Session or Abstract
Have an idea for a session you’d like to present? Whether it’s a workshop, panel, or case study, we’re keen to hear your proposal.
3. Host a Site Tour
We’re inviting organisations and groups to host site visits in the CBD during the Conference. These tours will give attendees the opportunity to explore projects - completed or in progress - that demonstrate strong community and stakeholder engagement.
