Keynotes

Conference Dinner

Join us for an unforgettable evening at our Conference Dinner!

Get ready to network like never before at Felons Barrel Hall – Brisbane's experimental space that masterfully blends punchy flavours, bold sounds, and the art of barrel-aging beer. Located at Howard Street Wharves beneath the iconic Story Bridge, this unique cultural hub offers the perfect backdrop for meaningful connections after a day of academic presentations.

This is an exceptional opportunity for students and early-career researchers to connect with established academics, keynote speakers, and fellow researchers in a relaxed, creative environment. Share ideas over craft beer and good food while surrounded by over 20,000 litres of beer aging in red wine, chardonnay, and whisky barrels – where even the venue's atmosphere has been "conditioned with live music blaring against the barrels."

Your ticket includes a welcome drink from their impressive bar and access to a generous grazing menu featuring the venue's signature punchy flavours. The riverside location provides stunning views and a laid-back atmosphere where all walks of life can "roll in, rock up and drop their shoulders."

When: Saturday, 21 June 2025

Where: Felons Barrel Hall, Howard Street Wharves (beneath Story Bridge)

Cost: $60 (students) | $100 (non-students)
