2023 IA Conference & Awards Gala – 9 November: What is interpretation? – a personalised view
November 9
JOIN US IN SYDNEY!
Interpretation Australia is excited to announce that our 2023 Conference will be held in Sydney on 9 November. This year’s theme is “What is Interpretation? – a personalised view”.
The theme, which is purposefully broad, has been selected to provide the opportunity for people to consider what interpretation means to them, whether as an industry, a field, a topic or a passion and for them to share their own stories, achievements, challenges or perspectives. We are happy to consider any approach to the topic, and look forward to seeing just what pathways we inspire!
We look forward to welcoming you to the event!

About our host city
The city selected for our conference reboot is Sydney. Sydney is the capital city of New South Wales and Australia’s largest and oldest city (founded in 1788). It is the largest city in the southern hemisphere, in terms of area. The city is built on one of the most beautiful harbours in the world.
The city’s most famous landmarks are the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House. Sydney’s principal river is the Parramatta River, which enters Sydney Harbour from the west. While the Harbour is famous for its racing yachts, the Boxing Day start of the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race, the river is used for dinghy sailing and rowing as well as recreational boating, racing small yachts and recreational fishing. Another famous landmark is the Sydney Tower which is the second tallest building in the Southern Hemisphere. Darling Harbour is also a popular destination for visitors.
Venue
The Maritime Union of Australia and International Transport Workers’ Federations Conference Centre is conveniently located in the heart of Chinatown and offers modern facilities in a historical setting.
