Magical Social Program
A social program will provide ample opportunities to mingle with colleagues at the welcome reception, opening ceremony and president’s reception – where members of the profession will be recognised for their contributions and achievements – and a congress dinner. The Congress Dinner, at Ormond College within the University of Melbourne, promises to be a magical night. Wood paneling, stained glass windows, vaulted ceilings, open fireplaces, beautifully carved wooden furniture and ornate chandeliers will set the scene, while guests adorned with their own touch of magic will create the enchantment. Those who forget to bring magical accessories may be able to collect one or two at the RANZCO booth, however be warned, availability is on a `best in best dressed’ basis.
