Where and when will ICA 2024 be held?The hybrid 74th Annual ICA Conference will take place both in the Gold Coast (Broadbeach, Queensland, AUSTRALIA) and online, with more than one-third of the conference held as synchronous sessions that incorporate both audiences. The dates of the conference are from Thursday, 20 June to Monday, 24 June 2024. All times associated with the conference will be given in the local Broadbeach time, UTC +10. |
What is the headquarters hotel this year?Our ICA24 headquarters is the STAR Gold Coast, with multiple overflow blocks in other hotel brands (Sofitel and several condo properties TBA) within a 10-minute walk. Please be sure to wait for our hotel block to open in early March - do not book at an ICA hotel without going through our room block - typically they will turn you away because they barely have any inventory outside of what we have contracted, but if you do somehow do it (by getting an uninformed hotel reservation agent), you’ll pay more than double our negotiated rate AND your reservation won’t be protected by our contract. STUDENTS: Please note that we are working to establish a heavily discounted student housing block at a nearby hotel. More information will be posted here, on social media, and sent out to our student members via email once we have the information. |

Ok, I'm planning to attend in person! What are the visa requirements for Australia?Many countries’ citizens need only their own passport for entry to Australia, while others must pay for a visa and undergo an interview and application process. This can take anywhere from days to months of waiting for an appointment depending on your country of residence, so we recommend that you apply for your visa as soon as you are sure you’re coming (we send out acceptances 10 January so that’s a good time to start). There is a quick “wizard” here that will give you an answer about whether you need a visa for Australia, in under two minutes: visit this link click the “visit & tourism” (blue box, top left of the page) which indicates that it includes conference attendance, on the next page choose “attending a conference or expo,” and then enter your country and the system will tell you what type of visa you need (if any). When filling out your visa information, be sure to select “Attending a conference or expo” as your reason, rather than mere tourism. If you do not have an accepted presentation for #ICA24, you can still request a visa letter here. You can check on Australia visa processing times here. |
