The Shangri-La Hotel is the primary venue for the conference. Just a short stroll to Circular Quay and the Sydney Opera House, and is ideally located for delegates to enjoy the city of Sydney during their stay.
Again, based on the rapturous response from 2010 Congress delegates, the Gala Dinner will be held at the Waterfront Restaurant on Saturday 13 October 2012. Delegates and their partners can look forward to another night of great food and music with breathtaking views of Sydney Harbour.
Please note that CPD points will be available for attending the conference.
