The Future is Listening - Now Virtual and Live

This September’s National Catholic Education Conference will be the first chance we have had to come together as a national Catholic education community in six years.

The conference will provide an excellent opportunity to listen to inspiring keynote speakers, attend thought-provoking workshops, and learn and share with colleagues from across Australia.

Presenters will include educational leadership authority Dr Simon Breakspear, leading student wellbeing academic Professor Donna Cross, futurist and engineer Dr Jordan Nguyen, and parental engagement expert Dr Janet Goodall.

This is the first time in six years that Catholic educators have been able to attend a national gathering. With the COVID-19 pandemic still presenting challenges for many school communities and education offices, we want to ensure maximum participation.

You can now register for the conference and attend LIVE at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre or participate VIRTUALLY. It’s your choice.

Can't decide?

That’s okay. Register to attend via either option and, if circumstances change, you can alter your registration at a later date. It’s win-win.

All access, on-demand pass

Once registered, you will automatically receive an all-access, on-demand pass to the conference following the event. This will include recordings of over 50 keynote addresses, presentations, workshops and panel discussions to watch at your leisure.

Want to network?

There’s nothing like meeting up in person, and Melbourne is a fabulous host city for you and your colleagues (and your new-found friends) to enjoy the food and the sights.

But don’t worry – you won’t miss out if you choose to attend virtually. You’ll be able to connect with your colleagues and meet new ones via our conference portal. You’ll also be able to enjoy the food and the fun with our conference pack of goodies delivered right to your door.

We are working on a great line-up of speakers and activities, and our program will be available soon.
