In 1991 I co-founded the Australian Barbie Club, and we held its first Convention that year. Fast forward to 2024 and I am the Chair of the 21st national Barbie Convention, "It's Showtime!", to be held in Sydney from Friday 22 - Sunday 24 August 2025. I am very excited to be planning for this convention, and hope to see some of you there.
Registration for Early Birds is available until the end of the year and costs $495, which includes the Cocktail party on Friday evening, morning/afternoon tea and lunch on Saturday and Sunday and dinner on Saturday night. It also includes talks and workshops, salesroom, the fashion parade, competitions, games, prizes, the opportunity to get amazing raffles, and most importantly, spending a fabulous weekend with other Barbie lovers. Purchase of a convention doll (for $135) is an optional extra, though most delegates do purchase the doll.
Those who are not currently members of the ABC Club may register at the discounted Early Bird rate but do not have to pay the $25 Club membership fee until January 2025.
The convention will be held at the Pullman Sydney Airport Hotel, which is offering a discounted rate of $250 per night for a twin or king room.
