The theme chosen for the 2022 BirdLife Photography Biennial Conference being held on the Gold Coast is Inspiring Bird Photographers.

The organisers have put together a programme full of inspiring bird photographers whose work will help all photographers take their practice to the next level.

The conference is a five day event incorporating two days of local guided tours prior to the conference, the two day conference, and another day of local guided tours after the conference. Those who attend the conference can enjoy the full five days, just the conference or whatever suits your schedule.
