NEWVAC26 | Newcastle Virtual Assistants Conference 2026

NEWVAC26 is back for 2026.

And this is not another day of people talking at you.

NEWVAC26 is a one-day business conference for Virtual Assistants, OBMs and virtual support professionals who want to grow their business, expand their network and feel more connected to the industry they work in.

Spend the day learning from experts, sharing ideas with other VAs and having the kinds of conversations that can lead to new connections, collaborations, referrals, opportunities and friendships.

Because sometimes the next thing your business needs isn't another download or webinar.

It's the right conversation with the right person.

Friday 23 October 2026
8:30am–5:30pm
Lake Macquarie Yacht Club, Belmont NSW

Whether you have one client, a full book, a team, a growing consultancy or you're still finding your place in the VA world, there is a seat for you here.

Come for the learning. Leave with your people.

What to expect:

NEWVAC26 has been designed around the people in the room, not just the agenda.

You'll spend the day learning, talking, thinking, sharing and meeting people who understand the work you do.

Expect:
Practical business learning
Sessions focused on growth, visibility, communication, confidence and the decisions VAs are navigating in business now.

Real conversations
Not just information from the stage. You'll have opportunities to talk through ideas, questions and challenges with other people in the room.

Facilitated networking
No awkward standing around wondering who to talk to. We've deliberately built connection into the day.

The Collaboration Café
An interactive hour of group discussion, shared experience, questions and ideas, because some of the best knowledge in the room won't come from the stage. It will come from each other.

New connections
You might meet a future collaborator, referral partner, business friend or simply someone who understands exactly what you're working through.

Fresh business ideas
Come away with different perspectives, practical strategies and ideas you can take straight back into your business.

Clarity about what's next
Whether you're growing, changing direction, building a team or just starting out, NEWVAC26 gives you space to step back and think about where you're going next.

Coming on your own?

Please do.

You won't be expected to walk into a room and somehow magically “network”.

We've deliberately built connection into the day through facilitated activities, shared conversations, workshops and the Collaboration Café.

You'll have plenty of opportunities to meet people naturally.

Come on your own. You won't spend the day alone.

Your $189 ticket includes

• Full-day NEWVAC26 conference admission

• Three expert-led business workshops

• Facilitated networking and connection activities

• The Collaboration Café

• Practical resources and business takeaways

• Full-day catering

• Complimentary professional headshots

• NEWVAC26 attendee gift

• Plenty of opportunities to meet and connect with other VAs and support professionals

And, of course, a room full of people you don't have to explain your job to.

Worth the ticket price already, really.
