There is a cap of one satchel per person.

We have a *combined* the Early Career Researcher and Clinician mentoring meeting!

The AACBT ECR sub-committee extends an invitation to Early Career Researchers (ECRs) and early career clinicians, who are attending this year’s AACBT conference to register to attend the Early Career Networking Meeting at the close of Day 1 (prior to the welcome function).

This is a networking event for PhD students, Post-Doctoral fellows, Honours students, clinicians and anyone who may be earlier in their career.  The networking event will provide an opportunity for people to chat with senior clinicians and researchers who will share their knowledge and tips for success!  There will also be the opportunity for networking with peers.

This event is **free** for delegates who are registered for the scientific program.

AACBT thanks Black Dog Institute for their support of this event.
