Testimonials
See what previous attendees have had to say about our Conference!
The networking opportunities each night. The value of being able to speak to other members of the sector and other organisations was the biggest strength. Just want to highlight that while the gala was the biggest strength of the conference and was an amazing night

It’s a great opportunity to bring our teams together to learn and help us to get new ideas to share with our service. The organisation of the event is outstanding, so much work goes into it and it is pretty awesome.

The location was great. The food was amazing and there were lots of drinks available. Justin and Adrian’s presentations were also great. Loved Justin’s speech was really reflective. The stalls were all very organized and set up well. Lots of giveaways such as bags, shirts, etc. Love it all. The table setting was good and was refreshed throughout the day. The ACA team was all very friendly and helpful. So welcoming.

The speakers were great this year and it was all very important information that I needed. Unfortunately, we all get a bit carried away with the day-by-day practices and we forget about the little things that mean the most to us about childcare. At the conference this year I walked away with a lot of new knowledge and skills that I believe that I can pass onto my colleagues.

I feel like there were many strengths of the conference. All of the timings were perfect, the organisation and layout was also great. I had an overall amazing experience, especially at the gala dinner. Also loved the idea of you providing berocca at the conference on Sunday after the gala dinner, very nice touch!

The organisation, everything ran smoothly for the attendees, venue was great, it was nice to have a laugh with the presenters during their presentations making it enjoyable and keeping the audience’s attention. The stalls were great and all the little free gifts were wonderful (we put them on the staff room table when we returned to work so others could also get a pen or something). The team did a great job!!!

The speakers. They were my favourite thing of the whole conference. They were engaging and informative. I gained so much information from them not only for my work place but personal life.

It is always very well structured with a great timetable of sessions and events. I loved the many opportunities to engage with other ECEC professionals and share ideas. It was my first AP lunch session (as upper management being included) and this was a great opportunity to get lots of valuable information and meet with other management and providers!
