Please find the latest information and key dates for Social Impact in the Regions 2025 following.
The venue:
The venue for this year’s event, SIITR25 will be Grafton NSW. Our main conference location where we’ll start each day is the Grafton Showground. We will then break out throughout the township. Please remember to book your accommodation as soon as you can to avoid disappointment.
Timing:
Social Impact in the Regions 2025 – per EVERY YEAR into the future will be the first Weds-Fri of September. In 2025 this happens to fall from 3rd to 5th September.
Format:
While we have a few secrets brewing on our theme we can tell you that the program format will be designed around ‘choose your own adventure’ books. Remember those?
Each day we will meet at Grafton Showground for a plenary session. After morning tea we will adventure through Grafton for a range of workshops, masterclasses, conversations with living books and peers and other local experiences.
We know people leave Social Impact in the Regions with all the feels. We intentionally create a family vibe, because that’s what we are as collaborators of regional change. Right? But we want more than that for you – we want the experience to be something you can look forward to year to year as a place to connect, learn, share, update and celebrate your wins.
Want to be part of the program co-design team? Grab your ticket on or before 10 April for your opportunity to join us for a co-design session held on Friday 11 April at 1230 (AEDT).
Tickets:
All tickets (except dedicated host (local community) tickets) include three days of program, a welcome event and the conference dinner. Catering includes morning tea and lunch each day and afternoon tea on days 1 and 2. We source locally ensuring small businesses in the host community get a big bite from the conference spend. Also, because we are located always in smaller regional communities, and we want people to have a family experience we limit the amount of tickets sold.
