Interpretation is never static, it moves, connects, and transforms. In 2026, Interpretation Australia invites you to gather on Ngunnawal Country at the National Museum of Australia for two days of inspiration, connection, and shared insight.

Our theme, Ripples of Meaning: The Art of Interpretation (we hope you like our 2026 Conference identity specially designed by Studio Mirobo), explores how meaning radiates through our work, from guides and storytellers to digital innovators and cultural custodians. Together, we’ll follow the ripples: from place to people, past to present, insight to action.

Whether you’re shaping visitor experiences, designing exhibitions, or championing community voices, this is your space to reflect, recharge, and reimagine the future of interpretation!
