June 6 – 8, 2025 | St Joseph’s Conference Centre, Baulkham Hills, NSW
Prepare to be transported into a world where captivating narratives and cultural exchanges flourish. The 2025 Sydney International Storytelling Conference, Weaving Stories Together, is coming to Baulkham Hills from June 6–8, and you’re invited to be part of this unique and heartwarming gathering.
Hosted by the Australian Storytelling Guild (NSW), this inspiring biennial event brings together storytellers, educators, creatives, and curious minds from across the globe to explore the theme: “Voices – Storytelling Across Generations and Cultures”.
Whether you’re a professional storyteller, a teacher, a writer, or simply someone who loves a good tale, there’s something for everyone. This year’s conference promises an enriching and invigorating blend of performances, workshops, and networking opportunities. Over three unforgettable days, you’ll enjoy:
- 16 hands-on workshops led by local and international storytelling experts
- Two magical evening concerts featuring global storytelling talent
- Story circles where shared stories spark connection and community
- A poster session showcasing innovative storytelling projects and research
- A lively Friday night Soirée with food, music, and cultural celebration
- A festive conference dinner to toast new friendships and creative inspiration
One of the highlights of the conference is the keynote speaker Adam Booth, a multi-award-winning storyteller and musician from West Virginia, USA. With roots in Appalachian storytelling traditions and a modern flair, Adam’s performances have graced stages like the Kennedy Center and the National Storytelling Festival. His stories are heartfelt, funny, and deeply human — a true reflection of the power of oral tradition.
This is more than just a conference — it’s a global celebration of storytelling as a tool for connection, empathy, and cultural exchange. Voices from Europe, Asia, Africa, the Pacific Islands, the Americas, and Australia will come together to share stories that remind us of what we all have in common.
Early bird registrations are now open! Discounts are available for members of the Australian Storytelling Guild (NSW), international guests, seniors, and concession card holders.
