We’ve partnered with Great Ocean Road Regional Tourism to bring you an inspiring and insightful conference program designed to help you navigate the evolving trends and opportunities shaping the tourism industry.

Featuring two breakout sessions focused on accessibility, international tourism and the impacts of AI on the tourism landscape, attendees will gain actionable insights to adapt to changing visitor expectations and emerging markets.

Plus, we’ll be bringing you not one but two keynote speakers this year. Chief Data Scientist Hari Hara Priya Kannan (Demographics Group) will take you through the tourism opportunities in regional Australia, backed by the latest insights, while Jessica Watson – the youngest person to sail solo around the world – will deliver an inspirational keynote on her journey and overcoming the odds.

We acknowledge that Geelong and The Bellarine is Wadawurrung Country.

We welcome visitors to our region, a place we acknowledge has been cared for by the Wadawurrung people of the Kulin Nation for thousands of years.

The environment is a key reason visitors choose this destination. Traditional Owners sharing the beauty and joy of these lands and waterways is a privilege, one we repay with respect for their country, Elders and people.

You’ll have noticed that we’ve changed ticketing platform recently so 100% of profits from ticket sales goes towards children charities.
