IWhat’s new for 2025
As always, we are keeping things fresh and relevant and with that in mind we are excited to announce that #G2Z2025 will be held online.
2025 is bringing a new level of personal and organisational hardship, financial insecurity, political instability, environmental and climate concerns and general, overwhelming feelings of stress and uncertainty, for all of us. Our goal in 2025 is to reduce the stress and pressure that you are experiencing, make your goals a little easier to attain and to help you to help your community.
The good news is that with modern technology we can bring many of the benefits of our in-person events to this new virtual format.
This year’s event is about accessibility in all its various forms. Generally, the meaning of accessibility is the quality of being easy to approach, enter or use, as well as the ability to obtain or make use of something. This is what we want for you in 2025.
An online event brings so many new opportunities to sheltering, rescue and animal management professionals across our country, and the world!
Accessibility looks and feels differently for all of us, depending on our needs and situations. If we are to truly do a deep dive into what accessibility means for our community and their pets, we must look to our own community first. We know there are many people across Australia who are not able to attend our legendary in-person events on the Gold Coast. To those people we say, this year is for you!
We want to remove as many barriers to attendance to this event as possible. We want everyone who works in companion animal management and sheltering, regardless of circumstances, to be able to reap the benefits that the Summits bring. We also want to provide new opportunities to those who would like to present at the Summit.
An online event brings cost savings to us as organisers which we can pass on to you in the form of lower registration fees. It obviously also brings travel cost savings to you as well as savings in time and the logistical juggling of responsibilities that still exist for us when away from our homes and jobs. The added benefit for the environment due to reduction of carbon footprint and waste is also something that we are happy for.
Only a virtual option offers you the convenience and flexibility of attending from home and with your pets!
One of the enormous benefits of our in-person events is that we get to meet new people, make new connections and enjoy a massive boost in motivation and positivity. Although this experience cannot be replicated exactly (and don’t worry, the in-person experience will be back in the future!) we are prioritising the delegate, and sponsor, experience through the delivery of the online event and selection of the premium event app, Accelevent.
Accelevent will be the conduit between us all and enable us to meet, chat, ask questions, view new products and even win prizes! You will be amazed at what the app will bring to your Summit experience.
