The National Conference is the number one industry event for the year and is designed to inform and update delegates with vital knowledge for delivering preventative healthcare today for a better, healthier tomorrow.
Delegates will explore the theme The Wellness Revolution – a theme that will be approached from a number of angles under the key areas of improving consumer health - the Political Revolution, the Regulatory Revolution, the Evidence Revolution, the Innovation Revolution, the Export Revolution and the Manufacturing Revolution
A mix of plenary and breakout sessions will be held on the day, highlighted by the industry’s feature event of the year, the 15th Annual Industry Awards Dinner.
This year the conference is expected to host 120 delegates, with 250 guests at the Awards Dinner. Both of these key events are a fantastic opportunity for networking and professional development.
