Biennial Conferences

Registration is now open for the 4th International Biennial Parks Leadership Conference in Sydney in August.

Since its inception, Parks Forum has created and delivered three highly successful international conferences for senior parks managers and this year's "Common Ground" themed event promises to be the best yet. 

These conferences create unprecedented opportunities to interact and share knowledge, experience and expertise with international parks colleagues, other related industry sectors and each other.
