Oceania MathsJam Gathering 2025

An informal conference for like-minded maths enthusiasts to discuss interests, share puzzles, games, insights, ideas, network and have fun in a relaxed atmosphere.

Oceania MathsJam Gathering (OMG for short) is an annual weekend get-together and a chance to have fun with maths and meet others in our mathematical community.

We welcome adults of all mathematical abilities and backgrounds, from uni students to teachers, the casually maths interested to recreational puzzlers, and professionals.

There's something for everyone: maths problems and logic puzzles on tap all weekend, a keynote address, plus plenty of opportunities to share and explore your maths-y interests with informal workshop and display tables (from mathematical crochet to origami, Geogebra models to Monte Carlo simulations) and the 5-minute talk/breakout sessions for attendees (Open Mic Maths).

There are several opt-in activities as well, including a 'Competition Competition' and Mathematical Bake-Off, a game of Countdown and even a mathemusical sing-a-long.

Come along and meet like-minded maths enthusiasts in the Oceania mathematics community. For the maths teachers: if you need a PD certificate of attendance, we can provide one.
