Thank you to all our panellists, attendees, and everyone who made the conference a success!
Given the developing situation in Adelaide with COVID-19 restrictions, it has become necessary to hold the conference entirely online. It will be run as a series of webinars on Zoom, which allows interaction with audience members and flexible question-and-answer sessions.
In light of national and international travel restrictions, we have decided to offer free registration for this year’s conference.
Conference Dates
Monday 30 Nov to Wednesday 2 Dec 2020
Public lecture - Danielle Clode
To coincide with the conference, award-winning author Danielle Clode will deliver a public lecture on her forthcoming book In Search of the Woman who Sailed the World.
