In two minds about whether to book your seat at this year’s P&Cs Qld Annual State Conference? Our Conference is a wonderful celebration of P&Cs and parents’ contributions to giving every child every chance in both education and in life through supporting Queensland state schools. This year we return to the sun, sand, and sea of the glorious Gold Coast at the Gold Coast Convention & Exhibition Centre on May 17-18. This your opportunity to network, connect, learn, and share inspirational stories with friends old and new from across the state. P&Cs Qld proudly works with our valued partners to ensure the conference is accessible to P&Cs across the State.

Things to look forward to:

An investment in your P&C and in you

That old saying “that you can’t look after anyone else if you don’t look after yourself first” applies in the P&C world. Attending our State Conference will give you the opportunity to further your skills, gain valuable insights and knowledge and challenge yourself. This will not only benefit your P&C activities, but also allow you to grow both personally and professionally.

Expert speakers and innovative workshops

This year’s conference program is broken down into tailored session streams and workshops that will guide your P&C to develop pathways to success. You will learn tips, tricks, new ideas and keep up-to-date with current and emerging trends to help improve your approach to engagement, fundraising and business operations. Our many and varied motivational speakers will leave you feeling inspired. Take this opportunity to be with like-minded people who want to share and ‘better’ themselves to improve their own P&C activities.

Networking opportunities

There will be plenty of opportunities to mix and mingle, form new or strengthen existing relationships and share stories over coffee and lunch. Who knows, you might make a connection with the perfect supplier or P&C colleague who can help you with what you’re looking for!

Takeaways

Attending our State Conference will not only provide an invaluable experience, it also will help you gain confidence in your own ability, take back fresh ideas and equip you with tools and takeaways to share with your P&C and school. All delegates receive a conference handbook filled with key session messages and takeaways from each presenter that can be applied to current and future P&C activities.

Fantastic Value

Our State Conference always provides an affordable registration and accommodation package that gives delegates access to exceptional speakers and allows them to make amazing connections and life-long friends.

Connect with P&C specific suppliers

Explore the impressive trade display to discover new and innovative products and services. This will give your P&C an edge as you uncover tools, products and services you might not have encountered or even thought about before. Access hands-on demonstrations and, with all our key P&C suppliers under the same roof, ask the questions specific to your P&C or business.
