Aussie Broms 2025

4th to 7th November 2025

Exciting news!!!

The 22nd Australasian Bromeliad Conference – Aussie Broms 2025 – has been launched! The theme is ‘Exploring Beauty and Diversity’.

The Bromeliad Society of Queensland invites the global bromeliad community to participate.

The dates are now set, 4th-7th November 2025, at the Eaton’s Hill Hotel on the north side of Brisbane. The date change (from October 28 – 31) was prompted by a clash for accommodation with a sporting group.

The website can be accessed at Aussie Broms 2025 Conference, a Facebook page is also live with all the up-to-date information.

We have special rates at the venue, which is a 4.5-star boutique hotel, to book for accommodation follow this link and scroll through to November to access the special rates – IBE – Dates of stay | Eatons Hill Hotel.

To book your conference follow this link to TryBooking  2025 Australasian Bromeliad Conference Tickets, Eatons Hill Hotel, Eatons Hill | TryBooking Australia.

The hotel link for accommodation will give registrants the discounted rate. There is a limited number of rooms so best to get in early. More expensive rooms are also available via the hotel’s website.

There will be a fantastic line up of experienced and world class speakers – Leonardo Versieux (Brazil), Chester Skotak (Costa Rica), Jose Manzanares (Ecuador), Dylan Zoller (USA), Pamela Koide-Hyatt (USA), Bruce Holst (USA), Andrew Devonshire (New Zealand), Graeme Barclay (New Zealand), Mal and Michelle Cameron (Australia). They will cover so many aspects of our beloved bromeliads.

Expect a competitive show featuring the best of the best, a rare plant auction with a surprise section or two, plant sales including many highly desirable species and cultivars, many new bromeliad releases, bus tours… and a banquet, of course. A program will be posted soon.

So please check the website regularly for updates.

With less than a year to plan, the committee and I are working hard to offer a wonderful experience for you all.

See you in November!
