I am just wondering, how does a member of the general public attend on any of the 3 days? Do I fill out a trade registration form?

Is it worth a look as a member of the public

For sure!  The 4th, 5th and 6th will be worthwhile.
There should be AACSA National championship heats and competitions on every day so you will get a chance to see the best of the best perform on stage (schedule not yet released) and the trade stands will be full of interesting coffee gear including a pile of CS site sponsors.

CoffeeSnobs will setup a home roasting corner there and bang out a pile of roasts during the 3 days too so people can get some hands-on time.

...so there will be plenty to see and do on all 3 days.

CSrs that are heading from overseas and from interstate should think about grabbing a room soon as I expect plenty of places to sell out.

Been there, done that Andy.
Flights and accommodation organised.
Like you, Im really looking forward to it and maybe meet a fellow CSer or two as well.
