Cairns 2026

31 May – 4 June, 2026

We are excited to announce that our planning is well underway for the Business Professionals Convention, which will be held at the Pullman Cairns International Hotel in Cairns from Sunday, May 31 to Thursday, June 4, 2026.

We invite your team to join us for this Convention. It will be an excellent opportunity to connect and network with other business professionals from around the South Pacific Division – all while enjoying the stunning surroundings of Far North Queensland and the Great Barrier Reef. We will offer plenary sessions and workshops covering a wide range of topics, with a focus on stewardship in leadership.

This Convention is specifically designed for employees working in finance and commercial sectors of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in the South Pacific.

Attending this Convention will provide you with the following opportunities:

• Participate in a variety of exceptional workshops, seminars and plenary presentations that are directly related to your role as a business professional.
• Gain a deeper understanding of the scope and mission of the Seventh-day Adventist Church and your role as an Accountant, Manager, Treasurer, CFO or other business professional.
• Foster team spirit, enhance your skills, network and create connections with colleagues across the South Pacific.
• Experience a time of spiritual reflection and renewal.
