Social events

Thursday 24 July | 5.00pm - 7.00pm

We’re excited to kick off the conference with a bit of fun at the Welcome Reception! This year’s dress-up theme is: “Who did you want to be when you grew up?”

Whether it was a firefighter, astronaut, pop star, vet, or superhero – we invite you to come dressed as the person you imagined becoming when you were younger. It’s a great way to break the ice, spark conversation, and add some creativity to the evening. Dressing up is encouraged but not compulsory – come as you feel comfortable!

We’ll also have a photo booth set up on the night, so you can capture your look (and your friends and colleagues)

Light canapés and beverages will be served throughout the evening.

One ticket is included for full registration types. Tickets can be purchased for day registration types for $80. Please indicate your attendance through the registration process - we would love to see you there!
