A WARM WELCOME TO CAIRNS
Considering the recent outbreaks and ongoing travel restrictions, the Conference Organising Committee has made the difficult decision to postpone the Joint Conference. This decision has been made with the health and wellbeing of our members, delegates, and sponsors as our highest priority.
The good news is that the Conference is only postponed and will therefore still go head. The new dates are 27 June – 2 July 2021 in Cairns.
All 2020 abstract submissions and registrations will be automatically transferred to 2021 Conference.
In the instance that Covid restrictions were to limit our ability to meet in person mid-2021, we have laid the groundwork for a seamless transition to a hybrid conference experience. This will include physical event/s in Australia and New Zealand, complimented by an online interactive streaming of the sessions, as well as virtual exhibition opportunities. For those that are unable to attend one of the physical locations, attendees will be able to join from the comfort of their home or office. If you intend on registering in person or online, the committee would be grateful if you can please register early to assist with logistics.
In addition, the Conference Organising Committee are planning a webinar event on Friday 4th of December 2020 to celebrate World Soils Day. More information on this will be available in due course.
Stay safe and healthy!
