Pre Congress Sessions: Workshops, Training Course and Forums
Below is a list of pre-congress workshops, training courses and forums. These courses will require registration and when registration opens for the courses, you will be able to log in to your ICCB profile to register. You can view the course descriptions and schedule here. Pre congress sessions will take place from 14-15 June at the University of Queensland. There will also be a couple of post congress sessions which will take place on 20 June.
Courses are either:
- Half day
- Full day
- Full day and half day
- Two full days
Reminder: In most cases, no one should be registered for more than three pre-congress sessions as you're likely to be double booked. Even two selections carries risk of a double booking if you're not carefully reviewing the day and times of the sessions you selected. Every booking counts against pre-congress registration attendance caps, so please only register for the courses you can attend.
