Bringing together pool managers, aquatic leaders and industry professionals from across Australia, the conference provides a valuable opportunity to learn from industry experts, explore emerging trends, share practical solutions and strengthen professional networks.

As the aquatic industry continues to evolve, professionals are navigating increasingly complex challenges, from workforce shortages and risk management to community engagement, facility operations and changing customer expectations. The Regional Pool Managers Conference has been designed to provide practical insights and meaningful discussions that support aquatic facilities and the communities they serve.

Why Attend?

Over two days, delegates will have the opportunity to:

• Hear from leading industry speakers and subject matter experts

• Explore current and emerging issues affecting aquatic facilities

• Learn practical strategies and innovative approaches to common operational challenges

• Share experiences and best practice with peers from across Australia

• Build valuable professional relationships and industry connections

A Conference Built for Industry Professionals

The conference program has been developed to support those responsible for the safe and effective operation of aquatic facilities. Sessions will focus on topics that matter most to today's aquatic leaders, providing opportunities to engage with experts, ask questions and contribute to discussions shaping the future of the industry.
