The Australian Podiatry Conference is building momentum as preparations are being finalised for this three-day event on the stunning Gold Coast from 26 to 28 June, 2025. Here are five reasons not to miss it.
Picture this. You’re a short 500 metre walk from pristine beaches on Australia’s coveted Gold Coast and an even shorter stroll to a range of workshops, keynote speeches, social gatherings and much more.
Then there is the timing. Get a burst of winter sunshine, right when many parts of Australia are settling into those winter months. Held at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre, the Australian Podiatry Conference is the perfect setting to forget about your day-to-day workload while simultaneously benefiting your future role; thanks to the fresh knowledge you will soak up.
Not only this, but after days immersed in new learning opportunities (followed by as much or as little networking as you wish) amazing hotels, restaurants, and bars are just steps away.
In the space of three days you’ll dive into diverse topics and stimulating discussions on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander foot health, paediatrics, sports and musculoskeletal conditions, high-risk foot care, rheumatology and the very latest in technological advancements; to name just a few.
With such a broad range of sessions, there is something for everyone—whether you are looking to improve your clinical expertise, learn about new tools and technologies, network, refresh your general work vibe, or expand your scope of practice.
These moments are ready and primed for you to experience.
The Australian Podiatry Conference features a massive trade exhibition showcasing the latest products and services from leading industry suppliers. Mark out plenty of time in your diary to wander through the exhibition hall (complimentary coffee in hand) and engage directly with countless products, designs and trade experts.
While the internet has its benefits, sometimes it pays (literally…) to see and feel the latest products in person and talk to the experts face-to-face.
Make this conference work for you. If you’re a social type, there are so many opportunities to network and relax with new and old friends. Or if you are craving a rare break for yourself, high-tail it to your hotel room at the end of the day, order room service and introvert away.
Maybe you’re after a balance of solo and social time? You’ll be pleased to know that a myriad of social events will be held close to the venue to make it as easy as possible to connect with your peers.
Did someone say early bird? Now is the time to save money on your registration. Remember to sign up as a member of the Australian Podiatry Association if you want further discounts. And what do you get once you register? In addition to three spectacular conference days (and all that it delivers – including the super useful conference app), you’ll also receive CPD hours and an attendance certificate.
Short on time? Opt for the ‘One Day’ pass to dive in and attend a single specific day of your choice.
*But not your waistline… This will be one of those events where the food tables will be THE place to be. No shame in hanging beside these impressive tables when the three-times-a day catering rolls in. If you’ve been to previous conferences by the Australian Podiatry Association, you will remember how sensational the food is (there are plenty of healthy options too).
If you have any questions, the conference website is being constantly updated and it includes contact details for the event team. This proactive and talented team are more than happy to help with any queries you may have. Enjoy!
