Venue The event will be held at Ayers Rock Resort, at the gateway of the Uluru - Kata Tjuta National Park, in the Northern Territory. Ayers Rock Resort is an oasis within the middle of Australia’s central desert region. Nestled in the desert like a giant mythical snake and hidden below the level of the highest red sand dune, everything about the Resort reflects sensitivity to the environment and respect for the area’s traditional owners. The Resort lies hidden from view to those visiting the National Park precinct, huge sails provide shade, solar panels generate power and native trees flourish throughout.
The resort provides a variety of accommodation options for every possible taste and budget - from the award winning 5-star Sails in the Desert Hotel, and modern Desert Gardens Hotel, to the self-contained Emu Walk Apartments, the authentic Outback Pioneer Hotel & Lodge & Ayers Rock Campground, offering powered campsites and air conditioned cabins.
We have negotiated special rates for conference attendees at this remote location until 3 February 2016 ONLY (after which availability is likely to be very limited), so it is advisable to book early to avoid disappointment. This is premier tourist season at the location and our block booking must be released within the contracted times, so please DON’T leave booking until the last minute! There is absolutely no other accommodation anywhere nearby.
Accommodation bookings can be made using the form included or online at secureregistrations.com/ACV2016/

Déjà Moo Conference 6-8 APRIL 2016 AYERS ROCK RESORT, NORTHERN TERRITORY
social program The 2016 ACV Déjà Moo Conference offers ample opportunity to network with your peers. This year’s social program is included in your conference registration fees.
Tuesday 5 April – Welcome BBQ On Tuesday evening, a casual welcome BBQ dinner and drinks will be held poolside at the Sails in the Desert venue at Ayers Rock Resort.
Wednesday 6 April – Breakfast, No dinner included Wednesday morning begins with very popular bacon and egg roll breakfast in the Tjungu Ballroom at Ayers Rock Resort, a great chance to get that last bit of sustenance and network with trade representatives before a full day of exciting conference presentations.
On Wednesday night attendees will have a free night to enjoy dinner at their leisure and enjoy the amenities of Ayers Rock Resort and the unique surrounds. While dinner is at your own cost, to allow the venue to plan, we will ask you where you are likely to dine.
A full list of Dining & Bar venues at Ayers Rock Resort are available here.
Thursday 7 April – Uluru Sunrise Viewing (with breakfast) & Sounds of Silence Dinner Be up before dawn on Thursday morning to catch the bus to watch the remarkable changing colours of Uluru as the sun rises over the desert landscape. On-the-go breakfast boxes will be supplied to all attendees. No breakfast will be available in the trade hall on Thursday morning.
Dinner on Thursday evening is a unique experience and at an exclusive conference-only location. Sounds of Silence is an award-winning dining experience that begins with outback style canapés served atop a sand dune overlooking the Uluru - Kata Tjuta National Park. Under the clear outback night sky, attendees will enjoy a three course bush-tucker inspired buffet to the sounds of a didgeridoo, and be treated with a traditional Indigenous dance performance. After dinner, attendees can relax under a sea of stars while the resident star talker decodes the southern night sky, locating the Southern Cross, signs of the zodiac, and the Milky Way. Planets and galaxies are also highly visible due to the exceptional clarity of the atmosphere. This will certainly be one dining experience you will remember!
Free transfers are arranged for both the Uluru Sunrise Viewing and Sounds of Silence dining experience to and from Ayers Rock Resort.
*Please be aware that the indigenous performers are traditional people with strong cultural obligations. In the event of some major unforeseen cultural event, such as ceremonial duties or bereavement, Ayers Rock Resort may not be able to provide the specified activity as advertised.
Friday 8 April – Breakfast & Gala Dinner Friday morning’s breakfast will be again be served in the Tjungu Ballroom at Ayers Rock Resort.
The Gala Dinner, held on-site at the Ayers Rock Resort Conference Centre, is included for all to conclude the conference. Party the night away, or have an early night at your discretion – dinner and drinks will be offered. Conference attendees like to dress up this night, but it is definitely not a black tie event!
