HOW TO SECURE A TICKET
1. Consider whether you need to renew your membership with CLAANZ
CLAANZ has moved to an annual membership model whereby renewal will occur at the end of each financial year, in the lead-up to the annual conference. Ad hoc membership will also be accepted throughout the year.
What this means for you:
- If you became a member or renewed in the second half of 2023, there is no need to renew again now. Your membership will continue until 30 June 2025.
- All others, we kindly ask you to please renew your membership by choosing a membership option when selecting member-priced tickets. Your current CLAANZ membership will continue until 30 June 2024 so will need to be renewed for the conference.
- If you are not yet a member but would like to be, welcome!
- If you are not yet a member but would like to attend the conference, please choose a non-member ticket.
If you’re not sure about your current membership status, please email admin@claanz.org.au for an update.
2. Choose a conference ticket
Tickets range in price for this hybrid in-person and online event. An added complication for this year's event is navigating trans-Tasman GST issues; please bear with us regarding the multiple ticket options. The total ticket price (in AUD) will include a small additional online booking fee via Humanitix which goes to charity.
Student concession tickets are for students enrolled at a tertiary education institution in Australia or New Zealand. There are also concession tickets for retirees.
Member pricing is offered to any organisations registering 10 or more people.
3. Secure a dinner ticket
We'll be holding a dinner for conference delegates after proceedings on the first day, Thursday 4 July, at the historic Thistle Inn.
Dinner will be two courses (entree and main) - please purchase a conference dinner ticket at the cost price of AUD$50 if you'd like to join us, and list any dietary requirements the venue will need to factor in. We hope you can make it.
