National Conference
In 2017 the Conference Planning Committee want the world to
see that Speech Pathology Australia is Working and investing in
Future innovations! WiFi represents more than just a signal that
connects us to the digital world. It represents hard work, innovation
and investment in the future! In 2017 you are being asked to think
big, be creative, share your innovations and investments, showcase
your work, and connect with colleagues to build a brighter future.
The 2017 Conference Planning Committee (CPC) warmly invites
you with the image of one of our most famous icons—the Sydney
Harbour Bridge.
To us the ‘bridge’ represents a link:
• Between past, present and future
• Across barriers of distance and communication
breakdown
• Between evidence and its translation into practice
• Across communities, the country and nations
• Between clients and care providers
The CPC is thrilled to welcome you to Sydney’s newest conference
facility! The International Convention Centre Sydney (ICC Sydney)
will be a beacon of innovation, learning and entertainment,
connecting and celebrating leaders of invention, business,
governance and the arts. How fitting that the first contracted
conference to be held in the Centre will be Speech Pathology
Australia National Conference 2017!
In this issue of Speak Out, you will find the invitation and Call for

many networks, colleagues and friends, wherever they are in the
world. Provide them with a link to the Association’s website www.

We have also included on the Association’s website, instructions
and guidelines for making submissions, which will assist
you prior to the actual submission process. Remember that
delegates will only have access to the title of the paper and
author(s) name when they register and select sessions they wish
to attend, so please carefully think about your presentation title.
This will help ensure the audience you wish to attract and those
who have the greatest interest in your topic will attend.
