Tourism Towards 2030 Conference
2021 Conference
The second Tourism Towards 2030 Conference will bring together divisions from Tourism NT to deliver market insights, national perceptions and to deliver encouragement and practical advice to the tourism industry.
Nigel Collin will MC the conferences, he is a change and change leadership expert. Nigel's 'Game of Inches' process works on the basis that effective change is made up of small achievable steps rather than any one-off single event.
Speakers include CEO Margy Osmond from the Tourism & Transport forum, CEO Stuart Lamont from the Caravan Industry Association of Australia, Tourism NT's Executive General Manager Tony Quarmby who will provide a marketing update for the year ahead and representatives from Tourism Australia with more speakers to be announced in the coming weeks.

Optional pre-conference masterclasses will be held from 7am - 8am in both Darwin and Alice Springs.
2020 Conference
The Tourism: Towards 2030 Conference due to be held in March 2020 was postponed. Tourism NT adapted the content by converting presentations into a 14 week webinar training series called 'Power Up', aimed to support business during the shutdown period.

The inaugural Tourism Towards 2030 Conference was held in Darwin and Alice Springs in March 2019.
The conference was designed to meet the current needs of the Northern Territory tourism industry and provided industry with relevant tools and actionable outcomes to implement across their business models.
