Our Community Health & Safety Policy – COVID-19 Update

We are committed to delivering you a symposium experience of the highest quality and hold the health & safety of all attendees in the upmost regard.

We will be progressing with our symposium in a face to face manner as planned.

Throughout the event, we will be strictly adhering to all measures of social distancing regulations, and health & safety precautions to create a safe environment to connect, learn and network.

In the event that Australian restrictions prevent us from delivering our symposium in a traditional face to face manner, we will be progressing via our online hosting platform.
