Are you an expert, practitioner, researcher or leaders in a specialist niche within the major events and festival industry?
Speaker expressions of interest (EOIs) are now open for the 2025 Australian Festival Industry Conference.
What topics are we looking for speakers to cover?
In late 2024, we put a call out to the industry to seek their feedback on what topics they’d like to see covered at this year’s event. The industry responded with their feedback. We’ve since put together a shortlist of key topics and are now welcoming EOIs from potential experts in those areas and against those topics.
While the conference program will be formally in the coming months, AFIC 2025 will include:
• Keynotes
• A special Q&A with Greg Cavanagh, CEO of Gympie Music Muster
• Panel discussions
• Presentations by four new cutting-edge products and services to hit the Australian market
• Two networking functions
• Trade exhibition
Why speak at AFIC?
All AFIC speakers and trainers receive complimentary registration to the two-day event and the social events. Additionally, it’s a great way to get your name in the spotlight and share your experience and knowledge with colleagues from across Australia and overseas!
When is the deadline & what’s the process once I submit?
The deadline for EOIs is Friday 7 February. Successful applicants will be invited to a short interview, before being approved.
