The Australian Institute of Office Professionals (AIOP) are proud to be the Foundation Partner for the Newcastle Virtual Assistants Conference, on Friday 23 October 2026 at the Lake Macquarie Yacht Club.

Are you a Virtual Assistant, Online Business Manager or virtual business support professional? Or perhaps you're currently working in administration, executive support or business support and curious about where your skills could take you next?

The Newcastle Virtual Assistants Conference 2026 | NEWVAC26 is happening on Friday 23 October 2026 at Lake Macquarie Yacht Club in Belmont NSW.

NEWVAC26 is a full-day professional development and connection experience bringing together Virtual Assistants, Online Business Managers and virtual business support professionals from across Australia.

Rather than a traditional conference where you spend the day being talked at, NEWVAC26 has been designed around practical learning, honest industry conversations and genuine connection.

Expect a carefully curated mix of professional development, industry insights, facilitated networking, small-group conversations and opportunities to connect with people who understand the work, challenges and possibilities within the virtual business support industry.

NEWVAC26 is for people at every stage.

You might already be running an established VA or OBM business. You might be growing a team, changing direction or looking for your next opportunity.

Or perhaps you're currently working in an EA, PA, administration, office management or business support role and are curious about the growing world of virtual and independent business support.

Wherever you are, there is a seat for you.
