Join us in Carnarvon for three days of insights, connections and discovery at the 2026 WA Tourism Conference. Set against the backdrop of one of Western Australia's most unique destinations, this year's conference brings together tourism professionals from across the state to explore what's next for our industry.
What to Expect
Thought-provoking sessions covering the topics shaping tourism today—from AI and technology to regional aviation, sustainability, Aboriginal culture and emerging industry trends.
Meaningful connections with fellow operators, industry leaders and government representatives through dedicated networking events, including an evening function at the spectacular Quobba Station.
A true taste of the region with a half-day famil showcasing Carnarvon's best, plus opportunities to explore the Gascoyne before and after the conference.
