The Venue
Paranaple Convention Centre, Devonport
The 2025 Participant Workshop will take place at the Paranaple Convention Centre in Devonport, Tasmania. This modern venue offers state-of-the-art facilities, scenic waterfront views, and bright, airy spaces perfect for fostering collaboration.
“Paranaple,” meaning “gathering place” in the local punnilerpanner language, reflects the centre’s welcoming atmosphere and its connection to the local community.
The essence of paranaple reflects past, present and future; communicating a welcoming experience to both visitors and the Devonport community alike. Proudly embracing this concept, our Convention Centre serves as a riverside venue for coming together, sharing ideas, and igniting inspiration.
