Annual Conference: Specific questions
I'm not a Christian. Is it ok for me to come on AnCon?
Absolutely yes! We believe this God stuff is true and real and we want you to know Him. The conference is designed so that you will get a clear understanding about what it is that Christians hold to be true, and what that means for how we are to live in response. During the week, you will have the opportunity to think deeply about the things that you find difficult to believe in during our Investigating Jesus elective stream. You will also have the opportunity at different points throughout the week to ask our knowledgeable staff and Rowan (the guy giving the talks) all your hard questions!
I'm an international student. Is it ok for me to come on AnCon?
Yes, absolutely! Everybody is welcome and we would love to have you there! Please note that AnCon will be an in-person, residential conference in Katoomba, so you would need to be in the Greater Sydney Region for at least some of the AnCon dates (22-26th July, 2024). Katoomba is also an awesome place to explore and we’d love to show you around! We’re looking forward to meeting you!
I'm a postgraduate student or university employee. Is it ok for me to come on AnCon?
You bet! EU Postgrads and Staff run a special day on the Wednesday of AnCon for staff and postgraduate students to hear from a guest speaker and join in the wider SUEU. When registering, select the PostGrad option.
I'm a non-USyd student. Is it ok for me to come on AnCon?
Sure is! Whilst we encourage you to attend the mid-year conference that your own campus group runs, we understand that for some, that isn't possible. You're welcome to join us. Please let us know which faculty you would like to be a part of, if you have a friend you are joining, or by looking at the list of “Communities” on the EU website here.
This is my first time at AnCon. I don't have a particular question, but I'm feeling a bit anxious...
We hear you! We have made big efforts to make your AnCon experience non-terrifying - in fact, we think you'll have such an amazing time that you'll be eager to return again next year! Each morning, you will spend time with the people who are in your faculty (those who study the same stuff as you) where you will come to know people, and feel known by people. There will be ample opportunities to form friendships across the conference. Free time will include some activities if you want to meet people outside your faculty group, so there's something for everyone.
