The ticket options allow you to purchase a one day ticket, or grab a weekend pass (which we highly recommend!). And if you're already a JCI member, get a weekend pass for the member price of $199.
The weekend will revolve around NatCon HQ at the historic, heritage-listed Castlereagh Boutique Hotel in Sydney's CBD.
On Friday night, feel free to join us for welcome drinks at the Reagh Bar, and afterwards, dinner at the famous Sydney Night Noodle Markets in Hyde Park. Food and drink on Friday isn't costed into the ticket, so come along for free, and just pay for your own food and drinks.
Saturday will start with the Special General Meeting, followed by inspiring presentations given by talented speakers on our GOLD Panel, TYOP presentations and a debating competition. We'll also get to welcome the 2019 National Board to their positions!
The evening will feature the Gala Dinner and award ceremony, where you'll enjoy a 3 course meal with a 4 hour drinks package all included as part of your ticket.
Then we'll wind down and have fun at Sunday's session of LEGO Play, (a well-loved NatCon classic) followed by a JCI skills development workshop.
