Stream B - Conference Support
Funding is eligible for applicants to attend established Australian screen industry conferences, events, and workshops in accordance with the Industry Development Guidelines.
These events will be chosen at Screen Tasmania’s discretion each year, and either be sponsored or supported by the agency. A public invitation will be issued for practitioners to submit their applications through Screen Tasmania’s application portal.
The amount of funding support will be a set amount based approximately on 50 per cent of the following expenses:
- accommodation
- airfares
- any registration or entry fees
- per diems
- transfers.
Being a successful recipient of conference support will not count towards the overall cap applied to Market Travel.

- PAX
- Gamescom
- Game Developers Conference (GDC)
- MIFF
