Conference Program

The scientific program will comprise a well-balanced mix of invited and contributed presentations as well as time and opportunity for networking, discussion and catching up with your biometric colleagues. We anticipate holding a dedicated poster session on one afternoon. The social program is aimed at providing another opportunity to connect with other delegates and to explore some of what Marysville and surrounds have to offer. To help plan your conference attendance, a copy of the final program (50KB) is availble for you to download.
