The Adelaide Hills in South Australia will host the Australian Regional Tourism (ART) Convention from 14-17 October 2025.
Regarded as the most significant annual event for regional tourism, the ART Convention provides a platform where industry experts are given the opportunity to exchange ideas, promote their products, discuss challenges and showcase best practice.
This is the third time this important business event has been held in South Australia, having been previously hosted in the Barossa Valley in 2008 and Victor Harbour in 2015.
Set to attract up to 200 delegates, the ART Conference will showcase the Adelaide Hills and wider South Australia on the national stage to industry, practitioners and government working in regional tourism across Australia.
Alongside promoting our world-class food, wine, and nature-based experiences, the Adelaide Hills convention will focus on key pillars for this regional destination, including agritourism and sustainability – environmental, economic and social. These themes are key to driving long-term success for the Adelaide Hills, and we can’t wait to share the expertise from our region with other national delegates.
Business events are an important economic driver for the state. They also provide fantastic opportunities to showcase South Australia as a must-visit destination to discerning business visitors from across the nation and globe.
In 2024, South Australia hosted a range of business events. These include the Asia Pacific Hotel & Industry Conference, for the fourth year running, attracting a record 1,500 delegates from over 40 countries as well as the Australian Cruise Association Annual Conference.
