Date: Thursday 31 July 2025
Time: 9am – 4pm
Venue: Byron Theatre (Byron Community Centre)

As the Byron Community Centre marks 130 years of service, the 2025 North Coast Tourism Symposium comes to Byron Theatre for the first time in the event’s history.

Presented by Destination North Coast in partnership with Byron Shire Council, the Symposium brings together tourism operators, industry leaders and policymakers for a full day of discussion, ideas and collaboration. This year’s theme, “Inspire! Shaping Tomorrow’s Visitor Economy”, focuses on innovation, resilience and sustainable growth in the face of industry change.

With Byron Bay long recognised as a cultural and tourism icon, the Byron Community Centre’s role as a community-led hub for the arts, creativity and care makes it a fitting location for this landmark gathering.

“Byron Theatre has always been a space for ideas and imagination. We’re proud to host this conversation during a milestone year for the Byron Community Centre and the wider community.”

The program will feature keynote speakers, panel discussions and networking opportunities designed to inspire fresh thinking and strengthen connections across the region.

Evening Event:
The North Coast Regional Tourism Awards Gala will take place from 6pm at Elements of Byron, 144 Bayshore Drive, Byron Bay.
