APSCON

1963-2019

APSCON was the APS's annual convention, alternating between the States and Territories with the last one being run in 2019.

APSCON provided a varied programme of exhibitions, lectures, workshops, tours and social events. A diverse range of top-quality photographers were always on the programme. The Societies' annual business meetings and annual dinners were also held at this time, at which APS and FIAP Honours for photographic skill and service to photography were presented as well as other awards for the current year.

Many members had made APSCON the basis of their annual holidays and attended every year without fail and many lifelong friendships were made at these events.
