2023 Annual Conference
The Nature Conservation Council of NSW hosts its Annual Conference and AGM at the end of each year around November.
The Annual Conference is a chance for the NCC network including member groups, the board, staff, and the wider movement for nature to come together for a series of workshops, speakers, and networking.
