ZINC, Federation Square · 30-31 JULY 2026
Our staff are the heart of everything we do, and the annual Connective Staff Conference is our opportunity to come together - all in one place.
Bringing together Connective staff from across Australia, and our Manila Star Award winners, the Staff Conference is the one time each year when everyone is together. It’s a chance to reconnect, reflect on the year that’s been, and look ahead to what’s next.
The Thursday afternoon session is an opportunity to come together to hear more about the business and what your peers are up to, followed by our signature Awards Dinner in the evening.
