In Sydney, these include:
A range of events is held in collaboration with other learned societies and academies. These include the:
In addition, there are the named lectures that are associated with the Society's awards. In some cases, these lectures are conducted jointly with universities, normally the host institution of the winner of that award.
In all cases, these events are advertised on these pages and registration for events held face-to-face is required.
Each of the Branches runs a regular program of face-to-face events in their local areas. All branch events are included in the Events listed on these pages and individual Branch pages include just those events being organised by the local branch.
The bulk of the Society's event program is recorded and made available on our YouTube channel.
Details of events scheduled for the remainder of the current year by the Southern Highlands branch can be found on its website, while details of events of previous years can be found here.
