The Conference Committee invites you to participate in the IAG2025 Institute of Australian Geographer’s Conference. The Conference will be held at City Hall and NUspace Newcastle, NSW from 30 June – 5 July 2025.

The theme of the Conference is Emergent Geographies.

We are at a point in time where we must urgently address global challenges such as climate change, transition, biodiversity, the rights of nature, urbanisation, sustainability, the importance of Indigenous knowledge, and human-environment interactions. Emergent geographies acknowledges the ways these challenges arise out of complex interactions and behaviours that require greater emphasis on interdisciplinary thinking and approaches. Emergent geographies allow us to interrogate both the fledgling ideas and the burning passions that make the study of all things geographic an exciting prospect for all of us.

The complete IAG conference session topics document can be found here: Presentation Topics

All presentations require an abstract to be submitted.

Join colleagues and share your experiences and ideas!

Acknowledgement of Country

The Conference organising committee acknowledges the Traditional Owners of Country of the University of Newcastle Nuspace campus, the Awabakal and Worimi peoples. We recognise their continuing care for Country including the lands, waters, skies and communities in this place.  We pay our respect to Elders past and present.  This place is a meeting place where waters, lands and people have come together and shared knowledge.  Our conference seeks to continue practices of knowledge sharing which nurture emergent geographies.  We recognise that First Nations sovereignty was never ceded.  This place always was, always will be Aboriginal Land.  We extend this respect to all First Nations people and Country itself across the continent.
