AUSPTA Sydney Conference 2025 @ Mercure Sydney

We are excited to announce that AUSPTA will be holding our 2025 Conference at the Mercure Hotel in Sydney on Friday the 24th of October 2025. For those familiar with our Sydney events who might be curious why the venue has changed from the Kirribilli Club; unfortunately it is no longer in business.

The Mercure Sydney is located at 818-820 George St, Sydney NSW 2000.

For those members wishing to stay at the hotel, discount accommodation is available using the code 386771.

Registration includes complimentary morning tea, lunch, and afternoon tea. There will also be a catered sundowner/networking session afterwards.
We are always looking for fresh new ideas for presentations, so if you have a presentation in mind (or know somebody else who might) then please get in touch.

20 and 40 minute presentation slots are available, and we welcome a broad range of topics – they do not have to be directly related to infrared thermography/condition monitoring.

Whilst our first preference is always for in-person presentations at these events, we also have the capability to facilitate remote presentations. So if you are interested in presenting but you can’t make it in person, then please let us know anyway and we can work to make it happen.
