Programme
Why this Convention is Special
This convention has special meaning as it coincides with the 70th anniversary of the Asia Pacific Section, which was inaugurated here in Adelaide the capital city of South Australia back in August 1953.
For the first time, our three-day technical programme will feature a full day of parallel sessions for brewers and distillers. Including both brewing and distilling focussed panel sessions.
Our main agenda is to deliver a technical and social programme for local, national, and international delegates involved in the brewing, distilling and associated industries.
Sponsor this Convention
This Convention is a great opportunity to revitalise and showcase once again the value and enjoyment of meeting face to face and the business and learning opportunities that it generates whilst being enlightened with knowledge and new technologies associated with our industry.

About Adelaide
The last Adelaide convention was held in 2002 and since then our city has grown and developed a vibrant scene of craft brewing and distilling that is on par if not the best Australia can offer.
Adelaide is the wine capital of Australia for those of you who wish to experience the charms of our wine regions before or after the convention. Also known as the festival state, Adelaide is rich in arts and cultural venues that is surrounded by scenic parklands as well as offering some of Australia’s best pristine beaches and coastal towns.
There are several arts and musical events happening before the convention, including WOMADelaide (10th – 13th March 2023) and The Adelaide Festival (3rd – 19th March 2023) not to mention the Fringe Festival, that delegates may wish to see during their visit.
The Venue
We have chosen the world-renowned sporting venue of Adelaide Oval to hold the convention as this historic ground offers not only the facilities for lectures and supplier exhibitions but other unique experiences of Stadium tours, a thrilling RoofClimb and the best dining experience a top restaurant can offer whilst overlooking the hallowed turf of Adelaide Oval.
