AALARA25 Conference
More than a conference!
Back to the Future
AALARA25 has officially wrapped, and what an incredible few days it was on the Gold Coast! Hailed by many as one of the most successful and engaging conferences in recent memory, AALARA25 brought together industry leaders, innovators, and passionate professionals for a jam-packed program filled with insight, inspiration and connection.
From thought-provoking panels on operational excellence, workplace safety, leadership, and emerging technologies, to stand-out keynotes from global leaders like Chris Perry, Chris Helder, Greg Yong, Michael Schreiber and Amanda Stevens, every session offered practical strategies and fresh perspectives tailored to the amusement, leisure, and recreation industries.
The energy didn’t stop there—our networking events brought the AALARA spirit to life. From the Welcome Function at Nineteen at The Star, to the playful Hijinx Hotel takeover, and the show stopping 30th Anniversary Gala Dinner celebrating our Past Presidents, every event reminded us that strong connections are the heartbeat of our association.
A heartfelt thank you to all delegates, speakers, panellists, sponsors and supporters who made AALARA25 a standout success.
We’re already gearing up for AALARA26—stay tuned for more, because the best is still to come.
