Conference Dinner

Night at the Museum - The Australian Edition

 

Date/time: Thursday 16 October, 7pm to 10pm

Venue: National Museum of Australia Map

Tickets: Dinner tickets are included in the full conference registration, but RSVP is essential to assist with catering sustainability

This year’s AIEC conference dinner will see the National Museum of Australia transformed into a vibrant stage of stories, culture and celebration. As the doors close to the public, you’ll have the chance to wander the gallery, connect with colleagues, and discover a few surprises along the way.  

From ancient treasures to modern icons, the evening promises a rich mix of history, imagination and fun. Think of it as a chance to step into the exhibits yourself - where every corner holds something unexpected and every conversation adds to the adventure.  

Dress code: what’s a night at the museum without a little dress-up? Perhaps a nod to your favourite artefact, a touch of Australiana, or something that sparks curiosity and conversation. Whether you go all out or simply add a playful detail, it’s all about embracing the spirit of the night. Whatever your style, bring your personality and be part of the adventure.   

Join us for A Night at the Museum – The Australian Edition – where culture meets connection, and the AIEC community comes alive after dark!
