We warmly invite you to Melbourne for the 2028 Congress, ‘Making Geographical Connections’! In a world of fracture, this Congress will reconnect and create connections between colleagues; between the many fields of our dynamic discipline; between geography and other disciplines; and between academic, policy, and public realms. As Aboriginal land, Melbourne (Naarm) is surrounded by the oldest living culture in the world. Melbourne is a cosmopolitan and liveable city with a dynamic arts and culture scene. Migration connects Melbourne to many other places, while its nearby environments reflect many of Australia’s distinctive landscapes and biodiversity. Come to Melbourne in 2028!
