The World Bonsai Convention is held every 4 years and the privilege of hosting is awarded to one of
the 9 World Bonsai Friendship Federation regions.
The 2017 convention was held in Saitama, Japan.
Originally due to be held in Perth in October 2021, the convention was postponed until October
2022. Due to the ongoing uncertainties about travel and quarantine restrictions it was decided to
hold the convention as a virtual event.
This gives us the opportunity to see 9 International bonsai demonstrations and a world class bonsai
and suiseki display for only $90 (if you book by 30 June).
You don’t have to watch the demonstrations live, you’ll be able to watch at your convenience and
from the comfort of your own home.
You’ll be able to replay the demonstrations even after the convention ends on 16 October up until
31 October.

After 30 June it will cost $140 to register which is still cheap!!!
HOW IT WILL WORK
The 9th World Bonsai Convention will be run as a Virtual Reality Event, which means that the first
run of each day will be scheduled to start at a particular time (10:00 am Western Australian Time)
and if registrants log in at any time after that start time, they will miss part of that presentation but
be able to view it again in full, on demand, with pause/stop/start functions, eight (8) hours after the
first running.
This will apply to all presentations.
After that all presentations can be played on demand up until the end of October. All
demonstrations will be pre-recorded for this event and the entire program controlled by a software
program with attendant technical support staff.
Two of the international Demonstrations will
include a live interactive question time at the immediate completion of the demonstration. These will be for Shinji Suzuki and Michael Hagedorn.
The 9th World Bonsai Convention will commence to be available to all registrants to view between
the 8th and 31 October 2022. The Optional Activities will be available free to registrants on the same system as for demonstrations, i.e., on demand 8 hours after the first running and at any time up until 31 October.
An Online Marketplace will be open 24 hours each day of the event. As will access to the Bonsai and
Suiseki Photographic exhibitions.
The Online Auction will start before the convention at a date to be decided and finish the day before
the Program ends which is 15 Oct 2022. Western Australian Time
