National Conference

The AAEE Biennial Conference is Australia’s premier gathering for anyone using education to create environmental and social change. It brings together advocates, educators, community organisers, researchers, council officers, and newcomers alike, offering insights, connections, and inspiration tailored to every stage of your journey.

Held every two years, it is the only national event that brings together environmental educators from across the country, whether they are working in classrooms, communities, councils or campaigns.

Our conference is more than a series of sessions - it’s a co-created experience. We are deeply grateful to our hosts, sponsors, speakers, facilitators, and the many behind-the-scenes contributors who ensure the program runs smoothly. Each gathering demonstrates the power of working together with generosity and purpose.

Our most recent conference (August 2025) was a vibrant gathering of diverse presentations, probing questions and thoughtful discussions. Held virtually for the first time, allowing people to participate from around the country. Together, we explored how far-reaching our work is and how essential it is in shaping a better future.
