Save the date! We're thrilled to reveal that the 2025 AFF annual member gathering will be in Melbourne from 21-23 November 2025.

There's still almost a year until this event, so we're still finalising the details. But you an expect that there will be a welcome dinner on Friday evening, a more formal dinner with a guest speaker on Saturday evening, and optional activities on the Saturday and/or Sunday.

All AFF members and their friends & family are welcome to attend. Most people usually fly into the host city on Friday afternoon, and leave on Sunday afternoon/evening. Of course, if you're a Melbourne local, the flying part is optional. ;)

We'll update this thread over the coming months with more information about the planned activities, dinner venues and costs, which we expect to be in line with previous gatherings. (E.g. you can read about the 2024 Brisbane gathering here, or the 2023 Launceston gathering here.)

There will be a $5 registration fee per participant, plus the cost of any activities and/or meals that you choose to join.

For now, please feel free to let us know in this thread if you think you'll be able to make it! For those unfamiliar with the AFF terminology:
  • "Platinum" means your attendance is confirmed and you have booked flights/accommodation
  • "Gold" means you're likely to attend but will need to confirm at a later time
  • "Silver" means you're unlikely to attend at this stage.
  • "Bronze" means you're unable to attend.

The entire AFF team looks forward to seeing you next November in Melbourne! :D
 
Gold leaning to platinum, one last crack at retaining Virgin Australia gold if I commit before 1 April 2025.

Then I could keep gold until 28 February 2027.
