Region 34 Convention and Competition 2025: Hobart

REGISTER NOW!

Our 2025 Region 34 Convention and Competition will run from 15–18 May at Wrest Point, 410 Sandy Bay Rd, Sandy Bay Tas 7005.

Wrest Point is a tried and tested convention venue and we know that long-time members will have wonderful memories from past conventions in Hobart. The stage is great, the auditorium is big, the traffic pattern opportunity is perfect for us and it's got great spaces to accommodate afterglow fun. AND, after a $64m facelift, the complex is looking fabulous!
