Social Functions

We understand the importance of networking with industry peers at the CDAA National Conference. In addition to catering breaks between sessions, we have arranged two social functions as part of the conference program. 

Attendance at social functions are included in some Full Conference Registration Packages. Additional tickets can be purchased at the time of registering.


Welcome Drinks and Networking - Growing Connections

Sunday, 20 October 2024 5:00pm - 7:00pm

Junior Ballroom, Pullman Melbourne on the Park
Hosted by the CDAA VIC Division Committee
Networking Facilitator: Leonie Stanfield, CDAA National Executive

Join us for drinks, nibbles and networking with colleagues and exhibitors. The Networking Reception will be held the evening before the conference commences. This is valuable opportunity for delegates to connect, learn, and engage before we get underway with the 2024 conference program. A ticket for the Welcome Drinks and Networking is included in Full Conference Registrations. Day Delegates and guests tickets can be purchased for $75 AUD.


Conference Dinner

Monday, 21 October 2024 7:00pm - 11:00pm

Grand Ballroom, Pullman Melbourne on the Park
Theme: A nod, nudge or wink to the 80s

The Conference Dinner, at the end of day one is a must-attend event for delegates. Beyond providing a delightful culinary experience, the dinner offers a unique opportunity for attendees to unwind, forge deeper connections, and engage in informal discussions with peers, speakers, and industry leaders. 

Get ready to take a nostalgic trip back to the 80s! Whether you're feeling like rocking a full-on neon ensemble, or just want to add a subtle touch of retro flair with some iconic accessories, the choice is yours. Let your creativity shine as you dial up the 80s vibes as much or as little as you desire for an unforgettable evening of fun and reminiscence.

A ticket for the Conference Dinner is included in Full Conference Registrations. Day Delegates and guest tickets can be purchased for $160 AUD.
