ANZ Alliance Down Under '12 Conference
7-9 November 2012
Surfers Paradise Marriott Resort and Spa
Gold Coast Australia

CONFERENCE WEBSITE IS NOW OPEN

Last year’s conference was again a huge success with almost 350 HEUG members participating in over 50 sessions across 6 different tracks. The HEUG website has been updated and now contains the information you need to plan for attending the 2012 conference. More information on registration, hotel accommodations, and special events will follow in July.  Get involved! Consider submitting a presentation for this year’s event. 

Keep your eye on the website to keep abreast of developments and key releases of information.

If you are not a current member of the HEUG please ensure you join ASAP. You will need to be a member in order to register for the conference and for presentation submissions.  Membership information can be found here.

CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS

One of the key elements to making this conference a success is your participation!  The standard of presentations at last year's conference was excellent and the organising committee is very keen to build on that success.  This can only happen with your support.  We need you to get involved by submitting proposals for presentations for the conference. Please see below for the types of presentations being suggested.

This year, in addition to the traditional approach to presentations, we plan to offer a number of short presentation opportunities within the program.  We are aware that delegates may be looking for an opportunity to share good practice, an idea or a question with colleagues but would not necessarily want to deliver a full conference paper and presentation.  Please indicate in your response to this call for presentations if you wish to submit an idea under the "short presentation" option.

Also be aware that the primary speaker for every session proposal accepted will receive a free registration to the ANZ Alliance Down Under 2012 conference!

Please submit your presentation ideas by going to the ‘Presentation Guidelines’ Tab within the ‘Alliance Down Under 2012’ website, which can be accessed through HEUG Online.

The deadline for submissions is 11 July 2012.
