This year, the conference and Gala Dinner will be held Rydges Resort Hunter Valley. The Hunter Valley is the birthplace of Australian wines. Known for its exquisite varieties of semillon and shiraz, it's renowned worldwide as a gourmet getaway. There are over 150 cellar doors and a growing number of innovative restaurants offering opportunities for indulgence across every pocket of the region. Its strong history of farming lends itself to incredible paddock to plate and biodynamic experiences, adding that extra satisfaction to your gourmet delights. Around your sampling, soak up the region’s natural wonders, unwind at one of the many day spas or sing your heart out with music between the vines.

A world away from city distractions, it is the ideal location in a sensational setting with a variety of accommodation options. If you are looking to extend your stay to relax before or after the conference, there'll be plenty of alluring wine and food destinations to visit.
