We are absolutely thrilled to welcome the legendary Mem Fox as our special keynote speaker to kick off the morning with insight, warmth, and wisdom.

Following Mem’s keynote, we’ll be joined by an incredible lineup of authors, illustrators, and industry professionals who will share their knowledge and experience throughout the day, including the absolutely brilliant, wonderful, kind-hearted Scott Stuart.

The full speaker lineup and schedule will be announced closer to the event—stay tuned!

Absolutely!
There are also payment plans available.

As much as we adore children and dedicate our work to creating books that inspire and educate them - both the conference and gala are strictly 18+ events.

This ensures all attendees can fully engage with the professional development, networking, and celebration without distraction.

We hope you enjoy a well-deserved day (and night!) just for you.

Tickets are not refundable, but if you can no longer attend, you're welcome to pass your ticket onto someone else. Please contact us ASAP to update the booking details.
