Online program sessions were reviewed and accepted by the program committee for inclusion in the conference program both at the onsite conference in Adelaide, and via interactive webinars online after the Adelaide event.

Online sessions are attended remotely from your own location using a computer or mobile device to watch Adelaide-based livestreams and to attend interactive webinars held with presenters around Australia.

Listed below are the confirmed presentations for the online program.

More sessions coming soon.

We are still accepting submissions for the online program.

All onsite delegates have full access to both onsite and online programs. Digital delegates will have access only to the sessions appearing on this page, whether the livestreamed Auditorium sessions from the two days in Adelaide, or the online webinar sessions pre and post conference.

Please note that although the presentations below have been confirmed, sometimes changes can occur outside our/presenter control. This program may be subject to change.
