An Invitation to Adelaide from Associations Forum
We are delighted to bring association and charities together
in Adelaide, South Australia, at the 10th Associations Forum
National Conference on 14-15 July 2015. Now is the time to be
in the vibrant city of Adelaide.
The Event
The increasing popularity of Associations Forum National Conference is
demonstrated by strong delegate attendance and a sell-out exhibition.
Last year, the conference brought together over 400 delegates, making it
the largest gathering to discuss association-specific matters in the
southern hemisphere.
The 2015 Associations Forum National Conference technical program continues
the quality of previous years. The support of our presenters is greatly
appreciated, with CEOs, senior managers and experts sharing their knowledge
and experience on a range of practical matters.
Our theme this year is:
> Achievements
> Developments
> Leadership
The City
Adelaide is completing an unprecedented level of infrastructure development,
with wonderful facilities and resources that make it an ideal place to conduct
association and charity events.
In particular, the design and scale of the new West Building of the Adelaide
Convention Centre makes it a perfect destination for meetings. It is nestled in the
centre of a new $AUD3billion Riverbank convention, research and events precinct.
The highly integrated Riverbank precinct includes Adelaide Convention Centre,
one of the world’s largest biomedical research hubs - South Australian Health &
Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI), the iconic and redeveloped Adelaide Oval
plus major hotels, cultural, culinary and retail attractions.
Our Supporters
I would also like to thank our event sponsors and exhibitors. Our sponsors and
exhibitors have provided their services to the conference and also made it
possible for us to offer this high-level event at an affordable price.
Our special thanks go to Alec Gilbert of the Adelaide Convention Centre and
Damien Kitto of the Adelaide Convention Bureau and their teams for their
tremendous support throughout all stages of this event.
I would urge all associations and charities to consider making this event the
cornerstone of professional development for their staff and Directors in 2015.
All in attendance will be impressed by the conference content and Adelaide
facilities, services and hospitality.
