Plenary agenda

An evening welcome reception will take place on 17 September at 18:00 in the Trilogy Garden, located on the lobby level of the Park Hyatt. Refreshments will be served, providing a networking opportunity for attendees. We will also have special programming. 

Meeting attendees are invited to participate in a unique opportunity to get close and personal with native Australian wildlife. Wild Action, a leading organisation in sustainable wildlife education programmes, will join us onsite at the Park Hyatt with koalas, kangaroo joeys, wombats, reptiles, and much more. Learn more.
