Begin your Summit journey a little earlier and treat yourself to a full day of Tasmanian discovery.

Friday’s offsite experiences are designed to be relaxed, welcoming, and wonderfully memorable, the perfect way to connect with fellow delegates before the main event.

Two beautiful options await:

• Derwent Valley Discovery – A gentle blend of culture, history, and indulgent local flavours.

• Huon Valley Flavours – A taste of Tasmania’s orchards and vineyards, with the option to meander through serene gardens.

Both itineraries capture Tasmania’s charm, its flavours, scenery, and warm hospitality, while making it effortless to enjoy as part of a group.

 Tickets are limited, so reserve your place and let Friday be the start of something special.
