WELCOME RECEPTION

28 October 2025 5pm – 8pm Roundhouse, Crystalbrook Hotel NEDC will kick off in style at the Welcome Reception, proudly sponsored by Lucid Economics. Perched atop the Crystalbrook Hotel, the iconic Roundhouse sets the scene with breathtaking views stretching from Newcastle’s working harbour to the rolling hills of the Hunter Valley. Join your national colleagues for top-tier local produce, sparkling conversations, and a buzz of excitement as we prepare to delve into this year’s theme: Shaping Tomorrow’s Economy.  With last year’s event selling out, be quick to avoid disappointment.  Tickets include drinks, canapés and a front-row seat to our vibrant host city, Newcastle!
