I don't work for C&K. Can I still attend?
The C&K Conference is open to anyone in the early childhood education and care sector.
Our Directors' Day and Gala Awards Dinner are closed to C&K branch and affiliate employees only.
What should I wear?
For the Directors' Day and the Conference, please wear comfortable smart casual clothing. The venue is completely indoors, but if you tend to feel cool in air conditioning, perhaps wear a sleeve or pack a light wrap. The Gala Awards dinner is a formal dinner, so feel free to glam up and wear your fancy attire!
How do flights, transfers, and accommodation work?
If you're a C&K employee, you can arrange your flights through your travel portal with Corporate Traveller. You must also arrange your own transfers, and try to share where you can. Accommodation can be booked via your Registration Form on this website. We have arranged accommodation at special rates with Rydges Fortitude Valley, which is directly across the street from the Conference venue.
If you are external to C&K, please make your own travel arrangements.
