VIEW National Convention 2027 | Geelong Victoria
VIEW National Convention 2027 will be held from 3 - 5 September at the brand new Nyaal Banyul Convention and Event Centre in Geelong! We hope that you can join us for this spectacular three day event filled with inspirational speakers, celebrations of VIEW members and our collective contributions to our community, updates from The Smith Family and connection between VIEW members from all over the country.
We are so excited to be back in Victoria and experiencing Geelong, known for its sweeping bay, iconic pier and local flair. Geelong is the second largest city in Victoria and Australia's only UNESCO City of Design. Just one hour from Melbourne, easily accessible by road, air, rail or ferry, Geelong is a vibrant regional city and the local VIEW members can't wait to show you around!
The region is characterised by the multi-award winning waterfront overlooking Corio Bay, the picturesque Bellarine Peninsula, the Barwon River, You Yangs Regional Park, wetlands, beautiful parklands and wildlife sanctuaries. Geelong is also the gateway to the world renowned coastline of south-west Victoria via the Great Ocean Road.

The VIEW National Convention is operated on a tight budget aiming to conduct break-even events and keeping prices as low as possible so as many members as possible can attend. The viability of National Convention now and into the future relies on members and their friends to book at least one Convention Day in addition to booking for any social events, to ensure the sustainability of our National Convention now and into the future.
