Reasons to attend State Conference
In two minds about whether to book your seat at P&Cs Qld Annual State Conference 2025?
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 June 5-7.
This is 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.
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.
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.
