The Australian International Documentary Conference (AIDC) was established in Adelaide in 1987, with the first conference being held in the Clare Valley, north of Adelaide. It was held biennially from 1987 (with a gap in 1989), but became an annual event in 2003. It is described as being 'run by the industry for the industry'. It functions as both a conference and marketplace, that is, it aims to support both the creative and commercial needs of the industry.

—Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)
“For 350 years we have been taught that reading maketh a full man, conference a ready man and writing an exact man. Football’s place is to add a patina of character, a deference to the rules and a respect for authority.”
—Walter Wellesley (Red)
