The ACCA Mid-Year Education & Training Seminar and the Annual Conference & Trade Exhibition are the two main events for the year!
The ACCA Conference is the associations biggest event of the year and is THE industry event you want to make sure you do not miss out on!
More information will be posted when available. You can see our upcoming Training on the ACCA Education page.
Our first stop will be at the historic Mt Gravatt Cemetery, one of Brisbane’s most active cemeteries, serving a diverse range of cultural and community groups across South East Queensland. This 100-year-old cemetery provides a perfect backdrop for a day filled with valuable insights, learning, and networking.
We are delighted to feature some incredible speakers for Day 1:
We’re still finalising details for a few more exciting speakers, so stay tuned for updates!
In addition to these sessions, we’ll have a trade show where you can meet suppliers, check out new equipment, and explore innovative products for the sector.
That evening, join us for a casual networking dinner at the Norman Hotel, voted Brisbane’s best steakhouse (with plenty of options for vegetarians too!). This is the perfect opportunity to connect with colleagues and industry leaders in a relaxed atmosphere.
For your convenience, Oaks Hotels is offering a special discount code for ACCA members at all Oaks properties in Brisbane. The Oaks Woolloongabba hotel is the closest and preferred accommodation for the event.
On Day 2, we’ll embark on a trip across Moreton Bay to the picturesque North Stradbroke Island (Mijerribah). There, we’ll be greeted by the First Nations Elders of the island for an in-depth look at Indigenous burial customs and the island’s cultural significance.
We’ll also take a tour of Dunwich Cemetery, lad by the team from Redland City council, where we’ll hear about the over 8,500 unmarked graves of former residents from the Dunwich Benevolent Asylum—a lesser-known chapter of early European settlement in SE QLD.
We’ll aim to return to the mainland by 4 pm, allowing ample time for those traveling to catch evening flights or head home. ACCA will arrange bus and ferry transport for delegates.
