Members of the ASSCT executive regret to inform you that the upcoming 2020 ASSCT Conference, has been postponed for 12 months due to the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19). The conference was being held in Bundaberg from 21-24 April. It was a difficult decision to make but one which we had weighed carefully.

The results are as follows.

a. The conference will be held in Bundaberg in 2021 with Mackay in 2022.
b. All impacted parties who have paid deposits will be asked to hold these over for 12 months. This will assist in minimising secretarial support workloads.
c. All 2020 papers can be delivered in 2021 along with any new papers in 2021. The 2021 conference may be longer in duration as a result.
d. 2020 papers will be put on the web and a memory stick sent by mail.
e. No abstracts will be printed this year.
f. We will consider having a technical webinar if there is enough interest from both people delivering and receiving the papers.

We hope that you will keep a look out for future messages from the ASSCT team and look forward to seeing you for a bigger, better 2021 ASSCT Conference next year.

Lastly, we thank you for the support you have given us. We apologise for any inconvenience the postponement may have caused you and wish you all the best of health.
