The 34th Annual CAUTHE Conference, Diverse Voices: Creating change in tourism, hospitality and events will be hosted by the University of Tasmania from 6th to 9th February 2024. 

CAUTHE 2024 will see the conference return to a university campus, with the venue to be UTAS' new state-of-the-art Hedberg facility, home of the university’s Conservatorium of Music and an incubator for creative practice, research, partnerships, and engagement.

In 2022 the Hedberg was awarded the Liminal Architecture Prize at the Australian Architecture Awards.

The Hedberg is located two blocks back from the iconic Hobart waterfront, two blocks away from the CBD, and there are more than five hotel options within two blocks of the venue. Collocated adjacent to the Theatre Royal, the conference will utilise both spaces.

Plenary sessions will be held in the Theatre Royal’s Studio, and concurrent sessions will be held in the Hedberg’s performance hubs and rehearsal spaces, as well as creative workshop ‘laboratories’.

The Hedberg is an accessible venue. Accessibility options including sign language interpreters, augmentation systems and other accessible materials will be organised if required.
