Events & Workshops / South Australian Tourism Conference

The South Australian Tourism Conference, 12-13 June 2025, is the state’s preeminent professional development and networking event for the tourism industry and broader visitor economy. Across two days, hear from industry leaders, participate in hands-on workshops, explore trade exhibits, and connect with peers from across South Australia. 

Our conference program this year examines the complex issues and exciting opportunities shaping the future of tourism in South Australia, nationally and across the world. From AI and economics to emerging workforce and visitor markets, our conference delegates will enjoy a mix of inspiring presentations and tangible learning opportunities. We’ll also celebrate the creative and adaptive resilience that underpins the success of tourism in our state.

Don’t take our word for how great it was, here’s what delegates said about our 2024 Conference: 

“This year’s conference was an exceptional opportunity for industry collaboration and learning as well as keeping up with future trends along with the economic climate. The venue was exceptional and the team at TICSA need to be congratulated for putting together such a successful industry event.”

“A well-considered and executed conference, and wow, I was impressed. The presenters were engaging, passionate, and incredibly informative. Now, I’m excited to digest and implement all the valuable insights and strategies gained. It was a fantastic networking opportunity, and the venue and food were insanely good.”

“The content and speakers were diverse, relevant, insightful and thought-provoking. I am sure everyone walked away with some key take aways to apply to their business.”

“This event was fantastic! Good quality speakers and the content presented was very relevant to our industry and at this time. It provided a great opportunity to step outside my business, learn about key trends, opportunities and the future in our industry that can be applied to my business. I made some great new connections and learned some new tips and tricks along the way!”

“Each and every year TiCSA Tourism Conference gives us an opportunity to network, learn and build our capacities to be better tourism operators. We don’t get time to stop, reflect and hear about the wonderful opportunities around us – not just hear locally but nationally. I look forward to taking these learnings back to my work across Local Government and increasing our tourism experiences for all to enjoy!”
