Australian Event Calendar 2025

[whereisdanielle]

Hello and welcome to the events megathread for 2025. I'll keep this first post updated with any dates or convention changes or new announcements as needed. Feel free to use this thread to talk about which conventions you are thinking of attending and for any meet up requests or suggestions. We will do as much panning as we can here, or on dedicated threads.

But first a few housekeeping requests:
1. Please run meetups through Regiment Staff if you are wanting to organize your own so that we can support you in running it and if we already have official things in the works, so that we can bring you into the planning for that.

2. Please keep eye catching text to a minimum in this thread so our official announcements don't get missed. We will make a big deal out of our announcement posts for maximum visibility while viewing the thread.


All known larger convention dates are as follows, if something is missing let us know and we will add to it.
The format is DATE - NAME - LOCATION

Any event that is in coloured text has an official meet up planed and the information can be found summarized within this thread and by following the links to their official event threads.

first off, thankyou so much for this! Super good thread to have.

just want to add AvCon for SA: July 5/6 - AvCon - Adelaide Showgroud (shocker)

I'll be attending all SA cons, hopefully fully deployed! The plan is also to fly out to the GC for the April Supanova, meet some mates I've got over there, and also meet a few of you!

This is subject to change, I'd likely just try to go to one con where the most people are planning on attending. So I'm just gonna keep my eyes and ears open!

 

[whereisdanielle]

CYNE 739 I must have missed their announcement! Will add it now, personally hoping to make it back to avcon again this year, last year was so much fun!!!


As a general rule for everyone; we will tend towards keeping events the same as in the past where we can - but we would appreciate people running things through regiment staff before setting meet up times and events just incase we have anything slightly more official set up with the convention itself.
So please standby for official meet up or let us know of any suggestions you may have.

 

[whereisdanielle]

Sadly Generation Games has been cancelled and will not run this year, so I will be crossing it off the list. Stay tuned for more event info soon!

Not one of the bigger shows - I've not been personally - but I recall seeing a variety of cosplays posted after last year.
Something for those not in the Brisbane / Gold Coast area.

October ???? - PAX - Melbourne, MCEC

Thought I'd send through an update here, the dates for Melbourne pax are the 10th - 12th of October.

It is also the main interstate event I am now planning on attending; Temple and CMDR Dark Light convinced me. (it didn't take alot)

And since it's in Melbourne, it'll be a simple 8 hour drive for me. Done it before a few times, excited to do it again. And to anyone else in Adelaide, feel free to hit me up if you want to tag along! We can split accommodation, fuel costs etc. (also would love to have a yap buddy, makes the trip significantly faster)

 

[Temple]

And a little FYI for PAX, Badges go on sale next week on the 25th of march 12pm AEDT!

 

[whereisdanielle]

Rollcall time!
Supanova Melbourne starts 10am tomorrow at Melbourne showgrounds, anyone attending?

We haven't planned an official meetup for this event due to estimated low Halo cosplay attendance - however we are not all knowing and would love to be proved wrong in this estimate.

With that being said - if you are attending and would like to hold your own meetup on our behalf for this event you have our blessing! Just let us know where and when so we can boost the message.

Stay tuned for announcements about OZCC Perth and Gold Coast Supanova

Speaking of GC Supanova, just talking now with the fam about flights. Going to try and plan to fly up on the 10th/11th to the Gold Coast so I can catch the con, as a handler.
