The Art of Bird Photography

Welcome to the website for the BirdLife Photography Biennial Conference 2024.  The theme chosen for this conference is The Art of Bird Photography. 

The conference programme features leading bird photographers from Australia and our keynote speaker from South Africa, Richard Flack. They are fantastic photographers who will inspire you to take your bird photography to new heights.

The conference is a five-day event, incorporating two days of local guided tours prior to the conference, the two-day conference, and a range of self-guided tours after the conference. Those who attend the conference can enjoy the full five days, just the two conference days, or whatever suits your schedule. It’s also a great opportunity to meet and network with other bird photographers!

Conference Dates: Saturday 23rd – Sunday 24th March 2024 – Adelaide Hills Convention Centre, Hahndorf, South Australia.

Conference Dinner: Saturday 23rd March 2024 – Saturday 23rd March 2024 – Adelaide Hills Convention Centre, Hahndorf, South Australia.

The conference is aimed at beginners, intermediate and advanced bird photographers and will cover a broad range of interesting topics to help improve your bird photography.   See our Presenters and Programme pages to whet your appetite.

A Q&A session by the previous speakers will be held at the end of each day – you can ask our panel questions specific to their talk, or questions about photography, equipment, and processing on any level.  

The Conference Tech Shop run by our sponsors will provide opportunities throughout the conference to ask technical questions, try new gear, and maybe grab a bargain.
