Here is the Conference Program

Catch up with friends and develop new networks

This Conference will allow you to catch up with your existing industry contacts and to develop new connections with other caravan park operators from across the State.

Got a problem in your park or is there an issue that is causing you sleepless nights?

The connections you make at the CPAQ Conference will allow you to create a strong support network, whether you need advice, a referral for a good supplier or just a friendly voice on the other end of the phone with someone who understands the craziness that can be running a caravan park – this is the place to make that connection.

Speak with Experts

With a condensed trade exhibition and more interaction with our event sponsors you will get the opportunity to ask the hard questions of some of our industry suppliers in a friendly environment.

This provides an unrivaled opportunity to ask suppliers the hard questions about their products and/or services, or to get some additional training on their products.

Across the course of the day you will have a number of opportunities to interact with our event sponsors, including round table conversations with our Actively Engage Sponsors.

From legal advice to laundry supplies, our fantastic exhibitors will be able to offer you great advice and terrific deals.

The National Conference

Stick around for the rest of the week to enjoy the National Conference which is celebrating its 25th anniversary!

Caravan Industry Association of Australia have now released their conference program for the 2020 National Conference! They believe this is one of their best programs to date designed to specifically celebrate the event’s 25th anniversary.

Their speakers this year are innovators, inspirers, business leaders and change makers. Sessions will include Mark Bouris sharing lessons on stress and anxiety in the workplace, along with fascinating and thought provoking sessions on overcoming adversity, lessons from the animal kingdom, ‘kampgrounds of the future’ and much more!

You can also get involved in practical breakout sessions and workshops and masterclasses designed to cater for all aspects of the industry, not to mention our breakfast programs, training sessions and Future Leaders Forum!

In 2019 our conference attracted 110 registered delegates, representing 73 Queensland caravan parks.

In order to reduce costs for our delegates as well as our sponsors and exhibitors, we run our conference as a one day event leading into the National Conference.  This provides you the opportunity to interact with delegates from Queensland caravan parks in a more intimate setting, without the added freight and travel costs of a separate event.

Our conference sponsorship opportunities continue to offer exceptional interaction with delegates, especially for Naming Rights and Actively Engage sponsors, who have the opportunity to sit with a small group of delegates to give them a 5 minute pitch on their products and/or services, or just to get to know them better.

As a thank you to those businesses that are strong supporters of CPAQ we are offering preferential pricing for members of our Association.
