social program

A conference is not complete without the opportunity to socialise and network, providing a break from the intensity of the program.

A welcome reception and conference dinner will be the main social functions. You may also like to take advantage of the many facilities in and around Perth and Fremantle. Why not plan to stay a little longer and enjoy the experience of 'taking a break' in Western Australia?
