Greetings fellow Skålleagues,
South Australia is calling you!
Skål National Assemblies are
where ideas are exchanged, collaborations are born, and lifelong friendships
are made and nurtured. So yes—you should be in Adelaide this September!
But even further beyond the business and networking, there’s a whole
world waiting for us in the South Australian capital.
From laneway bars to world-class
galleries, vineyard-hopping in the Adelaide Hills to lazy strolls along Glenelg
Beach—Adelaide is a city that punches well above its weight in style, culture
and charm. It’s a place where creativity flows just as freely as the Shiraz,
and where you’ll find some of Australia’s best food, wine, wildlife and warm
hospitality.
Our National Assembly program
will take us to some pretty amazing venues—including the sensational Adelaide
Zoo, recently crowned gold at the 2024 South Australian Tourism Awards. And
for those able to stay on a little longer, the Adelaide team have arranged a
fantastic day out in the glorious McLaren Vale wine region, including a visit
to the iconic d’Arenburg Cube.
But there's even more to
Adelaide than meets the eye. The city is a leader in sustainable tourism,
proudly holding the title of the southern hemisphere’s first National Park
City, with over 760 hectares of parklands encircling the CBD. Venues like
the Adelaide Convention Centre have achieved EarthCheck Master status,
implementing innovative practices such as worm farms for organic waste
reduction and extensive solar energy use. These great initiatives reflect
Adelaide's commitment to responsible tourism and sustainability.
So, whether you're keen to grow
your industry network, explore a new or overlooked destination, or simply soak
up the Skål spirit with a terrific bunch of travel professionals—this is
your sign to register now for a weekend to remember in Adelaide!

register are on our website: https://www.skalaustralianationalassembly.com/
Yours in Skål,
