Reminder that registrations are now open and they have been flooding in.
Did you know that the 2018 WIA Radio and Electronics Convention and AGM is being held at the SeaWorld Resort on Queensland's Gold Coast. The venue is located in the heart of the Gold Coast, with easy access from the airport and to a wide range of hotel accommodation and price range and lots of parking nearby.
For those arriving at the Gold Coast on Friday evening the traditional informal dinner and get together is being held at Fisherman's Wharf Tavern and the evening meal will be of your choice and budget.
On Saturday morning from 9am the WIA AGM and Open Forum will take place in SeaWorld's conference centre. This will be followed by the eye opening afternoon program themed "Beyond 2020”. This program will include guest speakers presenting on some cutting edge technologies as well as a range of strategy workshops providing members with the opportunity to share their views and ideas for the shaping the future of the WIA beyond 2020. A commemorative activity to launch the armistice is to be announced by the WIA.
Saturday evening is the WIA Annual Dinner being held at SeaWorld's Shoreline Restaurant. During the evening our guest speaker will be Jeff Johnson VK4XJJ as he talks to us about his walk across Australia with Amateur Radio.
Sunday morning there are a broad range of activities from a Champagne and Breakfast Hot Air Balloon Ride, the Queensland Telecommunications Museum, Surf Life Saving Command Centre, plus a variety of demonstrations and displays of Amateur Radio equipment including a Microwave shootout.
And last but not least, for those not travelling back to their home QTH on Sunday afternoon, you are invited to join us for a free BBQ dinner courtesy of the Gold Coast Amateur Radio Society.
