Australian Regional Tourism (ART) is pleased to announce that Busselton, Western Australia will be the host destination for the 2026 ART Convention to be held from 20-23 October 2026.

A gentle 2.5-hour journey south from Perth, Busselton rests where forest meets ocean — a coastal town cradled by the turquoise waters of Geographe Bay. Long regarded as the northern gateway to the Margaret River Region and its fine wines and produce, Busselton continues to evolve as a place of vitality and vision, where heritage and innovation sit side by side. From its iconic jetty stretching into the sea, to the bustling foreshore, and direct interstate flights, this beachside city offers many adventures.

Mark your calendar for the 2026 Convention and join us for an exciting opportunity to learn, connect, and collaborate.

The 2026 ART Convention will be hosted by Australia’s South West in collaboration with valued partners, the City of Busselton, Business Events Perth, Margaret River Busselton Tourism Association, South West Development Commission, the Forum Advocating Cultural and Eco-Tourism and Regional Development Australia South West.
