In September 1994, a group of mathematicians and physicists founded the Australasian Society for General Relativity and Gravitation (ASGRG) at a meeting in Canberra, Australia. This year, we are celebrating the 30-year anniversary of ASGRG with a 2-day conference,
on <b>Monday 2nd and Tuesday 3rd September, 2024</b>. The conference will be hosted by the
<b>Australian National University, Canberra, Australia</b>.</div>

The conference will have 2 themes. In <b>Past Reflections</b>, we will look back over the last 30 years, and how Australasia has contributed to research in general relativity and gravitation. In
<b>Future Ambitions</b>, we will look forward to the next 30 years, and opportunities for continued success in general relativity and gravitational research in Australasia. Interested participants are welcome to submit proposals for a talk on either or both
of these themes.</div>
