Change of date ANZONA Adelaide conference: ANZONA 2022
SAON on behalf of the ANZONA conference organising committee wishes to announce a change of date for the upcoming ANZONA conference.
Due to the current and rapidly changing COVID-19 situation; Border and bubble restrictions, the organising committee has decided to propose new conference dates:
Wednesday 14th – Friday 16th September 2022
We really hope you are able to join us.
We are committed to offering a face-to-face experience in the main, as the benefit of sharing knowledge and networking is so valuable. We know we will need to be flexible and agile enough to offer a rich, Covid-safe conference experience.
The safety of our members & community is of upmost importance. We acknowledge the uncertainty going forward but we are continuing to plan a great conference for you in a vaccinated, post winter environment.
Watch this space for updates.
Meanwhile stay safe everyone. Here’s wishing good health to you, your family and friends.
