The co-convenors of the NTC20, the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies (AIATSIS) and NTSCORP have made the decision to postpone the National Native Title Conference 2020 to 18 - 21 October 2020, as a result of the changing and widespread impacts of COVID-19.
This decision was not taken lightly and was about ensuring the health and wellbeing of all delegates, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities from across Australia.
We believe being cautious, listening to our stakeholders and acting on the best advice from experts is the most sensible response at this stage.
We will continue to monitor the situation with wellbeing in mind and will reconvene the conference in October, hopeful there is no immediate threat to the health of attendees or their communities.
There will be no losses for attendees or sponsors. Any funds already paid, registrations and accommodation bookings can be carried over to the new date, or attendees will have the option to be refunded.
NTC20 will remain on Minjungbal Bundjalung Country in Tweed Heads with the ongoing support of the Traditional Owners.
NEW DATE: 18 - 21 October, 2020.
- Sun 18 Oct: Community Cultural Day
- Mon 19 - Wed 21 Oct: Conference
WHERE: Minjungbal Bundjalung Country, Tweed Heads, NSW.
VENUE: Twin Towns Conference & Function Centre.
