Here are some important notes about the ticketing and how it works.
We have kept the main conference ticket price at the same level as the 2024 event to help your pocket, but you should remember that our conference is entirely self-funded - we receive no external sponsorship and have no market place on the day.
So, your tickets are what makes the gig possible.
The early bird basic ticket cost is $825 inc GST. This ticket is available until 1 January 2026.
We have two special events running as pre-conference events:
Off-site visits to a number of very special playspaces around Melbourne
A deepdive Playwork masterclass with Marc Armitage
