I’m interested in presenting. How do I go about applying?

Register your interest by filling out the Call for Presentations form

If successful, you will receive complimentary entry to the event.

Full price tickets are AUD$475 including GST.

This includes two days of presentations, teas/coffees, lunches, one evening event of drinks and finger food
