Welcome


Dear Colleagues,

A very warm invitation to all colleagues and stakeholders in the career development community to the CDAA 2024 National Conference in Melbourne.

The CDAA bi-annual conference is the only national in-person, live session conference completely focused on career development research, theory and practice with a cross-sectoral perspective.

Whether you are interested in the latest trends and research, theories and transitions, or transformative practice, come prepared to learn from colleagues as well as industry thought leaders and contribute from your own experience. Every session will be interactive and provide opportunities to develop tangible take away actions.

From the welcome and networking event Sunday evening, the conference Monday and Tuesday, conference dinner Monday evening and Masterclasses Wednesday morning, there will be ample opportunities to connect, learn, laugh, contribute and grow with colleagues. Make the most of this tax-deductible investment in your own future.

For our profession's stakeholders and suppliers, this is the best investment you can make to develop new business opportunities and renew acquaintances, in one place at one time.

You will receive a warm welcome if you choose to stay at the conference venue, Pullman Melbourne on the Park. There are also numerous other accommodation options close by and convenient public transport.

Walk away connected and experience a true sense of belonging to Australia's Career Development community. We look forward to welcoming you to the CDAA National Conference in Melbourne October 2024!
