Resilient dams and a resilient theatre!

With thanks to our Welcome Reception sponsor, Macquarie Geotech, we are putting on a welcome show at Australia’s oldest continually operating theatre, the Theatre Royal; Noël Coward once called it “a dream of a theatre” and Laurence Olivier launched a national appeal for its reconstruction in the 1940s.

Cocktail style but enough as a dinner substitute, join us to eat, drink, chat and immerse yourself in some theatrical culture; Friends of the Theatre will conduct backstage tours – keep a look out for the Theatre’s resident ghost!

Come down for air… and meet the robots.

It’s time to step away from the technical sessions, enjoy a spectacular Tasmanian dinner and celebrate the people who keep our dams safe, resilient and ready for the future.

Our Conference Dinner Sponsor, Fulcrum Robotics, is proudly bringing a little of that future to the evening. Born in Tasmania and operating across Australia, Fulcrum Robotics is at the forefront of innovative technology for dam inspection — a perfect fit for this year’s theme, Resilient Dams, Smart Futures.

Because while technology continues to transform our industry, one thing never changes: resilient dams start with resilient people.

 And then there’s the food…

Your evening begins with a scenic 20-minute coach journey to MyState Bank Arena. Pop in your headphones and discover a little of Hobart’s history as you travel through Tasmania’s beautiful capital.

Once there, prepare for a memorable dining experience as Chef Oli Mellers showcases the very best of Tasmanian produce. Having trained at Heston Blumenthal’s Michelin-starred The Fat Duck in London, Oli brings creativity, experience and a passion for exceptional local ingredients to the table.

Good food
Great company
A little Tasmanian history
A glimpse into the future of dam inspection
This is one conference dinner you won’t want to miss
