Ticket inclusive with registration
Kick off your conference experience at the welcome reception!

Conference Dinner – Celebrating South Australia
Wednesday 8 May 2024, 7:00pm – 11:00pm
Join us for a night celebrating the delights of South Australia. Your three course dinner will highlight seasonal produce from all over South Australia, from the Barossa Valley wineries, seaside towns and farms in the Adelaide Hills.
This will be a wonderful night and a chance to dress up in your finest evening attire or come in whatever you are comfortable in.
This evening is a time to bring together people to celebrate and enjoy the opportunity to be able to all gather, learn and connect while letting your hair down and dancing till you can’t dance anymore. This dinner is the perfect opportunity to build new professional connections as well as re-connect with colleagues and industry partners. Surrounded by fellow conference attendees you can get to know your industry in a low key, relaxed environment.
Don’t forget to have your photo taken at the photo booth and share them online using the hashtag #National24.
Delegates Networking
We will have designated ‘Networking Areas’ setup throughout the Convention Centre including in the Exhibition Hall, Foyer E, and Foyer A/B. Please look at the Event Floor Plan for location details.
Delegates are encouraged to organise their own networking/catch up dinners. We have a list of restaurants all within a short walk of the convention centre. All of these restaurants are aware of the ALIA National Conference and may offer some sort of discount if you wear your ALIA National lanyards.
