ASOFIA Events

Playing host to the ASOFIA 22nd National Conference, Canberra is a destination full of surprises… and the ideal backdrop for this year’s theme. While the historic War Memorial and Parliament House remain a ‘must do’ for every visitor, you’ll see so much more of our nation’s capital as part of our conference. With a strong arts culture and an ever-changing floral display across the city, Canberra is no longer just a place of politics. This city is innovation in action! From our unique Welcome function and Last Post ceremony at the Australian War Memorial and an engaging function at the National Museum of Australia along with activities to explore the sights of Canberra, to the much anticipated finale of our Gala Dinner and Awards presentation at Hotel Realm, this year’s conference is a blend of robust business insights with two inspiring speakers and social relaxation that will have you collaborating and innovating on every level.

A message from the National President
Our nation’s capital, Canberra, is a fitting venue for this, our 22nd ASOFIA Conference.What better place to come together, from all parts of our great country, and build on our businesses and ourselves, making us stronger as both individuals and as an industry! Our theme Innovate+Collaborate is also a nod to our capital… a place where our voted leaders work together to create a bigger, better future for all of us. Our guest speakers this year bring a wealth of knowledge about how to deal with change and use it to improve ourselves, and as always, we will take some well-earned breaks to enjoy the sights,while spending time with friends and colleagues. Not forgetting our big night of nights,we will round up the Conference with an evening of great food and wine as we celebrate our Award winners!
