Save the date for 'beaches, brains and biotech' at AusBiotech 2014 on the Gold Coast
Wednesday 29 to Friday 31 October are the dates to save as the AusBiotech 2014 national conference heads for the Gold Coast at the Gold Coast Convention & Exhibition Centre.
Now is the time to plan to supplement your business trip to AusBiotech 2014 into a mini spring break on the Gold Coast, combining your interests in biotechnology with a beach holiday.
Registrations will open in April, so prepare to catch the early bird prices and best hotel bookings. AusBiotech’s annual industry event will return to Queensland with the support of the Queensland Government.
Expressions of interest are invited for speaker presentations, and the program committee is especially keen to hear from your international colleagues who might be planning to be in Australia at the time and willing to present overseas perspectives. Please contact Sharlene Gunatilake at sgunatilake@ausbiotech.org or 03 9828 1420.
