This year's conference has raised the bar on the high standards set by previous conferences. ACHSE NSW have two international speakers, Prof Chris Ham from the UK and Davis Balestracci from the USA, who will provide insights into their respective areas.

The theme this year is Looking Forward, Looking Back - Evaluating Reforms and Predicting Trends and the speakers have been asked to take this perspective when they provide their presentations. ACHSE NSW want you to be able to reflect on some of the reforms of the past while we think about the proposals for the future.

ACHSE NSW have also provided a number of concurrent sessions as well as interactive voting to help you feel a part of the proceedings, not just an observer. I trust you will take the opportunity to network and recharge your batteries and come away with renewed vigor and new ideas.
