Your invitation to the 2011 APSAD conference
On behalf of the Australasian Professional Society on Alcohol and other Drugs I am pleased to invite you to join us 42° south, in Hobart, Tasmania for our 2011 Conference which will be held from 13 – 16 November 2011.
As always, you can look forward to a rich program of national and international speakers sharing new insights in neuroscience, interventions, policy innovations and emerging challenges for our sector. For the first time, the Conference will include a satellite program from our sister organisation, the European Opiate Addiction Treatment Association, which will bring extra opportunities to interact with our international colleagues.
Conference participants are encouraged to use both traditional modes of communication such as oral and poster presentations, as well as other styles of engagement such as participatory workshops and debates/discussions.
Our Conference venue overlooks the beautiful waterfront, and is just a stroll away from the city centre and the renowned Salamanca area, a hub for fine foods and arts. While you’re here, of course, I hope you can take some time out to experience some of the breathtaking natural beauty on offer across our friendly state, or for the more cerebral, to provoke your senses at the renowned Museum of Old and New Art.
Together with the APSAD Council and the local Organising Committee of Professionals from Tasmanian Alcohol, Tobacco and other Drug sector agencies, I look forward to welcoming you to Hobart for this important event.
