Welcome

Adelaide is laid out on a mile-square grid, ringed by parklands and small enough to cross on foot in twenty minutes — the beach at Glenelg and the vineyards of the Barossa Valley are both under an hour away for pre- or post-seminar time.

Acknowledgement of Country

ESA Seminar 2027 will be held on the traditional lands of the Kaurna people, known in the Kaurna language as Tarndanya. We pay our respects to Kaurna Elders past and present, and to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander delegates joining us.
