This year’s conference will be a hybrid format, with attendees invited to join the in-person event at St Joseph’s College, Gregory Terrace or access Saturday’s sessions via an online platform from one of 11 regional hubs or at their home.

The conference will feature a Laws of the Game update, sessions on managing external pressures and referee communication from a coach’s perspective, with guest presenters from Football Australia, Officiating Collective and three FQ clubs.
