FAQ
Is this an online or in-person event?
This is a hybrid event. There are two options to attend and participate in this event:
- In-person at Centrepiece at Melbourne Park
- Virtually – this event will be live-streamed on a virtual event platform, meaning you can attend online from anywhere as long as you have a reliable internet connection.
Can anyone attend?
Anyone is able to purchase a ticket for this event. This event is targeted at people associated with the education sector.
As a teacher can this count towards professional development?
The Bridging the Divide Conference is a meaningful learning opportunity that will be engaging and relevant to you and the children/students you are teaching now and intothe future. It will be packed with professional learning activities, from the keynotes to workshops to side events.
Much of this content will link to the APST, and therefore may be counted towards professional learning for registration purposes. In recording this conference as evidence of a professional learning activity, you will need to select the relevant APST for you. This will look different for each individual, and be determined by your own experience as a participant and your own professional growth as a teacher.
Participants are encouraged to check and confirm suitability with their relevant teacher regulatory authority. All participants will be provided with a certificate of attendance, including the total number of hours.
Do I have to be an AEU member to attend?
No, you do not need to be an AEU member to attend this event, however, AEU members will receive a discount on registration when it is not an early bird period.
What time will the event run?
The event will run 9:00 am – 5:00 pm AEDST on Monday 30 and Tuesday 31 October 2023.
What’s Melbourne like this time of year?
The event will be taking place in the middle of spring so the weather should be nice and mild with a maximum average of about 20°C at this time of year. However Melbourne is known as the City that has four seasons in one day, so be prepared for anything!
Do you have hotel bookings or special rates?
We will provide accommodation recommendations and if possible, discount codes for attendees for nearby hotels.
