Conferences

Post by linotas »

What is the big, biannual conference in New Zealand called? I'm filling out my annual performance review and thought I'd think big!

ASET will be running their's again, I'm pretty sure. That isn't until September. CONASTA is held in July but can't remember what state it is in this year.

Does anyone know if any conferences are being run this year? I just looked up St Mary's/SLAMN and saw it is no longer running!!! It was such a great conference and one of the things I was looking forward to when I returned to the labs! The ASET website doesn't appear to have been updated for a while. I haven't tried to look up CONASTA yet.

Don't hold me to this, but I think DoE stopped funding for SLAMN and they now run training days for their staff only. In recent years, there had been some sessions that were only available to DoE staff. ASET may be holding off advertising to see what covid does. It didn't run last year because of restrictions.

CONASTA will be in September in Canberra this year (COVID permitting of course). I'm planning on going, luckily I even have free accommodation there!

Hi All,

New year, new hope that there might be an opportunity for us to meet face to face and do some additional learning!
Anyone know if there will be any conferences/training courses this year??
