Ripples of Meaning: The Art of Interpretation

Interpretation Australia’s 2026 conference

Interpretation Australia’s 2026 conference will be held at the National Museum of Australia, on the lands of the Ngunnawal, Ngunawal and Ngambri peoples, on 9-10 September, with an optional (free) Twilight Tour at the Australian National Botanic Gardens on Tuesday, 8 September.
Our theme, Ripples of Meaning: The Art of Interpretation, explores how meaning radiates through our work, from guides and storytellers to digital innovators and cultural custodians.
We have two amazing keynote speakers and many other sessions and speakers addressing topics and ideas across all aspects of our work in GLAM institutions, Gardens, Science Centres, Zoos, Aquariums and other tourism sites.
More information about the conference, with speaker details and a draft program, can be found on our website: https://interpretationaustralia.asn.au/events/2026-conference/
