2025 Australian Catholic Education Conference
Cairns Convention Centre
1400+ Delegates x 3 Days

“From the earliest planning stages through to the continued post-conference wrap-up, the ConferenceNational team demonstrated professionalism, responsiveness, and a level of support that consistently went above and beyond. Their experience and calm guidance was invaluable in navigating the complexities of a large-scale national event in Cairns, and their creativity and energy helped bring the vision of the conference to life in ways that exceeded our hopes and expectations. The seamless coordination of logistics, delegate management, accommodation, venue operations, the conference website and app, and countless behind-the-scenes details contributed to a well-run and memorable experience for all involved. ConferenceNational’s ability to adapt, problem-solve, and maintain a positive and proactive approach throughout was deeply appreciated by our conference team Annette Loughlin-Smith and Tammy Angel, and our organising committee and working groups. The feedback from our delegates and leaders has been overwhelmingly positive and this is in no small part due to the work of the ConferenceNational team. We would especially like to acknowledge Rebecca’s leadership and the contributions of Maggie, Ashlee, Noah and Mia. They brought a unique strength to the team, and together they created an environment of reliability, collaboration and excellence. Their support extended beyond the conference itself, and we were grateful for their continued engagement and assistance in delivering post-event requirements. We would not hesitate to recommend ConferenceNational to others planning major conferences and events, and we look forward to the opportunity to work with them again in the future. Thank you for helping us deliver a conference that was not only professionally successful but also deeply meaningful and impactful to our Catholic education community.”

ConferenceNational's rigour has ensured that we are honouring this gift, while also fortifying the foundations to continue its legacy. ConferenceNational were "all in" & it was a joy to partner with them.”

From the initial planning stages to the final day of the event, their team was a joy to work with, professional, organised & fully engaged to ensure a meaningful experience for their delegates. The enthusiasm & energy brought to our town by the delegates was felt not only in the walls of the convention centre but throughout our local community. Alice Springs Convention Centre was extremely proud to provide the venue for such a dynamic & well executed conference, & we’re thrilled that their attendees were able to enjoy everything Alice Springs has to offer. We look forward to the opportunity to welcome the ConferenceNational team back in the future, & highly recommend them as a partner in any event collaboration”

2025 HoSA Conference
Rydges Latimer Square New Zealand
200+ Delegates x 3 Days

“My small association (operating across Australia and New Zealand) started working with Conference National because we wanted to plan an event in Wollongong. Unfortunately COVID meant that we never managed to run that one. However we have continued to use CN to organise annual conferences in Sydney, Perth, Melbourne, Christchurch and Brisbane so far. Each has had its own challenges but nothing has ever been too difficult for Maggie, Rebecca and the rest of the team. They have provided wonderful support for local planning committees who come in cold each year. They have done a fantastic job in signing up and supporting the sponsors who are essential to the financial viability of our events. They provide excellent customer service to participants and work tirelessly to deliver a professional and polished event with empathy and positivity. Their services are comprehensive and of high quality. I would heartily recommend engaging Conference National for your conference.
