Abstract reviews
The CPC together with the Scientific Program Sub
Committee Chair SPSC would like to thank the reviewers for
their thorough process. Each submission was independently
rated by two reviewers against a strict set of criteria. With
221 submissions, we are confident this will ensure a program
of the highest quality, variety and interest for our profession.
All authors will be notified on 14 December 2015 whether
they have been successful or not.
Program development
The CPC and SPSC are currently finalising the structure
of the 2016 Conference program. We will continue with
the concurrent sessions of oral, workshop and poster
presentations. Plenary sessions will be scheduled for each
day. The pre-registration and welcome reception will be on
the Sunday evening, and the Conference dinner will be on
the Wednesday evening. The SPA AGM will be held on the
Monday, with the restaurant night on the Tuesday evening.
How to register...
We are currently working through the information needed for
inclusion in the online registration brochure and Conference

the February 2016 Speak Out, which will have an overview
of the program format. Early bird registration will commence
