Connection, Collaboration & Co-creation: Building the Future Together
P&C Federation invites all members and stakeholders to join us at our annual P&C Federation Conference on Saturday, 29 October 2022 at Novotel Sydney Central or online via livestream.
We understand that the logistics of travel and getting to the event might be difficult. For the first time, the conference will be hybrid, with attendees having the choice of attending the one-day event in person at the Novotel Sydney Central or viewing the live stream online.
Gather for a day of inspiring and informational speaker talks along with insightful and interactive panel discussions.
The logistics of travel and getting to the event might be difficult so the conference is offered at an affordable rate with financial hardship support available for P&C Associations who have experienced significant financial hardship over the last few years.
The conference will be followed by our annual Volunteer Awards Dinner (in person only).
