Present at the 2027 National VET Conference!

We are seeking passionate experts, innovators and leaders to share their insights at Australia's premier VET event in Adelaide on 20–21 October 2027.

Our theme, The Ripple Effect: From Practice to Impact, explores how the work we do today can create meaningful change for learners, workplaces and the wider VET sector. Share your experience, practical approaches and fresh ideas to help others turn everyday practice into lasting impact.

Our Call for Presenters process is simple, collaborative and focused on partnership. Our three-stage journey makes it easy to share your ideas and provides dedicated support from selection through to delivery.

Our Three-Stage Presenter Journey

We've structured the process to respect your time and create a rewarding experience for both you and our delegates.

Stage 1: Share Your Idea (Expression of Interest)

Deadline: Friday 12 March 2027

This initial step is all about your session concept. If you're looking for inspiration, explore our topic suggestions from 2026 attendees. We also welcome fresh ideas on topics relevant to the VET sector.

Your Expression of Interest will ask you to provide:

• Your presenter profile, including a bio, headshot and short video sample of your presentation style.
• Your proposed session title and overview.
• Up to three key delegate takeaways.
• Your preferred session length, target audience and suggested content category.

Your session overview should accurately reflect what you intend to deliver, as it will form the basis of your advertised session and subsequent quality assurance review.

All applicants will be notified of the outcome by email on Monday 22 March 2027.

Stage 2: Formal Invitation and Onboarding

Successful applicants will receive a formal invitation to join the #2027NVC presenter team.

Once selected, you'll be invited to confirm your participation and begin our presenter onboarding process, which includes:

• Completing a Presenter Confirmation Form to verify your session details and logistical requirements.
• Reviewing and accepting the Presenter Agreement, which outlines our shared commitments and expectations.
• Receiving the Presenter Handbook, your practical guide to preparing, submitting and delivering your presentation.

You'll also be introduced to your dedicated Velg Training Presenter Liaison, who will be your main point of contact throughout the process.

Stage 3: The Partnership Journey

Supporting our presenters is central to delivering a quality conference. We'll work with you to prepare an engaging, professional presentation that meets our conference requirements and delivers on the promises made in your session overview.

Our support includes:

• A Personal Onboarding Call: A brief one-on-one meeting to welcome you, discuss key requirements and deadlines, and answer any initial questions.
• A Midpoint Check-In: A short email to check your progress, identify any challenges and offer support as you develop your presentation.
• A Final Pre-Submission Check-In: A brief conversation to confirm your presentation is on track for submission and clarify any outstanding requirements before the deadline.
• A Collaborative Quality Assurance Process: A professional review of your completed presentation materials to support accuracy, consistency and alignment with your advertised session overview.

Our structured approach helps keep expectations clear, supports you throughout your preparation and ensures we're working together to deliver a valuable experience for conference delegates.
