PORTALS TO PLACE
A conference exploring regenerative approaches to place, economy and community
Flipping the Script
This gathering flips the script on who gets to speak. We are centring community, nature, and voices that tourism conferences typically exclude. In the process we are creating a safe space for tourism, economic and community development professionals to listen and reflect without having to have all the answers. The right people will be in the room to explore the questions that matter. The conversations will be thoughtful and the learning will be deep.
The voices are assembling...
Speaker Announcements Soon!
The speakers gathering here bring quiet wisdom, not standard solutions. Fresh perspectives, not vetted answers.
We believe we owe it to the future to actively seek out those who think differently from ourselves - the voices that make us uncomfortable, curious, and uncertain... because new perspectives don't emerge from echo chambers.
We acknowledge and pay our deepest respects to the Traditional Owners of the land on which we live and work. We thank all Palawa for their ongoing custodianship of the lands, seas, waterways, and skies we are lucky to call home in Lutruwita/Tasmania, and recognise their deep connection to Country. We support Palawa in their struggle for treaty, truth telling, and justice. We pay our respects to all Palawa and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders past and present, and acknowledge that this always has been, and always will be, Aboriginal land.
