The educate+ International Conference

The educate+ International Conference is our most expansive and immersive professional learning experience, bringing members together from across Australia, New Zealand and Asia in a single host city. Held every two years, the International Conference creates a shared space for the entire community to learn, connect and grow, collectively shaping the future of Advancement.

Spanning four dynamic days, the International Conference features a curated program of international thought leaders alongside highly respected local practitioners, offering global perspectives grounded in real-world expertise. The experience begins with a dedicated half-day of pre-conference workshops, providing hands-on, practical learning before the main program unfolds.

Across the Conference, delegates engage in deep-dive sessions covering the full spectrum of Advancement and organisational leadership, including:

• Admissions
• Alumni & Community Engagement
• Fundraising
• Marketing & Communications
• Leadership
• People & Culture

More than a Conference, this is a shared experience. It’s an opportunity to step out of day-to-day delivery, build meaningful professional relationships, and engage in conversations that challenge thinking, spark innovation and strengthen practice… all while also experiencing an energising Social Program, incorporating visits to many of the host cities points of interest!

Participants leave with renewed energy, practical strategies, expanded networks and fresh insight — equipped to apply new ideas with confidence and supported by a connected, forward-thinking community.
