In Methodism, the Conference is the governing body of the Church, which is headed by a President. It meets annually to discuss matters affecting the life of the Church, the nation and the world.

The first conference of the Australasian Wesleyan Methodist Church was held in Sydney in 1855. This chair would have been used by the Presidents of the Australasian Wesleyan Methodist Conference during proceedings.
