The Tall Ships Australia and New Zealand Annual General Meeting is held in September each year, usually in Sydney, and provides an opportunity for the Committee to address members directly regarding activities and operations, and for members to contribute to planning for the forward year. All members are encouraged to attend.

Elections are also held for Committee positions, including President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer and Member/s, as well as for a Youth Representative. Nominations will be called for in the weeks preceding an election.

Please note the video link for the 2022 Annual General Meeting will be emailed to Operators and Members. If you do not receive the video link please contact The Secretary.

The Sail Training International and Tall Ships Conference is an annual conference featuring seminars and workshops. It provides tailored programs to meet the needs and interests of key delegate groups and is the perfect opportunity for the Sail Training community around the world to gather, network, share practical advice, offer each other support and talk to experts.

The Sail Training International Annual Conference is a “must attend” event, open to everyone involved in Sail Training for young people.

• Vessel operators
• Sail Training programme providers
• Ports already contracted to host a Sail Training International event, including The Tall Ships Races
• Representatives of Endorsed Events
• Anyone with an interest in Sail Training and Tall Ships races and regattas.

Each year, six individual bursaries, funded by Sail Training International, are offered to offset costs for successful applicants to travel from either Australia or New Zealand to Europe to attend the Conference. Further information on bursaries available to Tall Ships Australia and New Zealand members are available here.

The 2019 International Sail Training and Tall Ships Conference took place in Seville, Spain.
