The curtain has come down on Melbourne’s three-year stint hosting EduTECH Australia, the largest festival of education in the nation.
The two-day event took place from 13-14 August at Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre. It was the third consecutive year the event was hosted in Melbourne.
Next year, EduTECH Australia will return to Sydney after the NSW Government, supported by Business Events Sydney (BESydney), secured the event, which will be held from 11-12 June 2025 at the International Convention Centre Sydney.
Event organiser, Terrapinn, said this year’s event in Melbourne drew more than 10,000 registered participants, with more than 150 from New Zealand.
Mr Greg Hitchen, Terrapinn Global CEO who is based in London, attended the event.
“Greg was impressed with the atmosphere at EduTECH, and highlighted the sentiment that if you’re in education, you need to be here,” a company spokesperson said.
More than 250 exhibitors and 40 start-ups filled the expo floor, while in the plenary sessions, venue staff had to carefully manage seating capacity for the keynote speaker, Sal Khan, with his address on the transformative impact of AI on education in high-demand.
The gala dinner on the eve of Day 1, hosted by comedian Claire Hooper, was sold out.
A spokesperson from Terrapinn said the EduTECH in 2025 will have a different look and feel, with the event to be re-branded to align with EduTECH Asia.
EduTECH in Sydney will also be the anchor event for the NSW EdTech Summit, creating a week-long opportunity for teachers to complete their Professional Development.
