FAQ

SE Qld has more amazing activist orgs and experts than can fit on a single day’s program, and our sessions filled up in the blink of an eye. 

However, this is a forum for our movement, not a standard conference where speakers have a say and everyone else is just a passive recipient. The whole aim is to exchange insights and learn from each other. So, if you do great stuff for animals – whether as an individual, an organisation or as a business – then please come! This is a platform for you, too.

There will be discussion opportunities throughout the day, and a dedicated slot for shout-outs during the closing session. There will also be a table for literature / business cards etc, so bring your stuff. As long as what you do helps animals, we’d love to feature it.

Please contact us if you’re a charity and want to have a table or banner and we’ll see what can be done. And if you’d like to be a speaker at a future forum, please also express your interest via the contact form.

All catering is vegan. We'll also have a gluten-free lunch option that you can choose when booking your ticket.

For any other dietary requirements, let us know and, as long as we have some notice, we will look into it. 

Spring Hill Hall is a 9-minute walk from Fortitude Valley train station.

There are also a number of bus stops near the venue.

Check out walking directions on Google Maps or public transport times via the Translink Journey Planner.

Fortitude Valley also has plenty of parking.

Accessibility was a prime factor in choosing our venue.

Please consult Communify and the venue site for more information https://bookings.communify.org.au/venues/spring-hill-hall and https://bookings.communify.org.au/venues/spring-hill-studio. 

There may be videos or discussions that won't be suitable for children.

We would recommend 14 as the minimum age, with adult supervision.

We are trying to be zero waste! Resource extraction and polluting our environment aren’t good for animals either.

You can help us achieve this by bringing a keep cup/mug for your tea/coffee/water and a reusable plate or container for food!

We will have some of both for those who don’t bring them, but our inner child will shed a tear for the world as we give them to you.

AnimalKIND is the official organisation behind the event.

The organising group is comprised of volunteer Brisbane-based activists, including ones who run the Brisbane Vegan Meetup, AnimalKind Volunteer Hub, and regular Digital Activism gatherings.

For more info, check out the About page, and stay in touch with us via facebook.com/A4ACommunity and/or instagram.com/A4ACommunity.

We aren't planning on it, although if we get a volunteer who would like to assist, it's possible that the talks in the main room will be recorded. We'll update the info here and make an announcement on the day if so.
