IMPORTANT COMMUNICATION
I am writing to you all on behalf of the 2022 Freud Conference committee. Based on expert health advice concerning COVID, and as part of our responsibility for ensuring the safety of all conference attendees, we have decided now to change our 2022 Freud Conference from a live to online event.
The program will remain the same and the presentations are now being broadcast live from the Melbourne Brain Centre, with only the Conference personnel i.e., presenters, chairs and organizing committee, working from the MBC. Everyone else will be linked by Zoom.
In consideration of this change the conference fee will be reduced to $200.00 per person, with those already registered receiving a refund. Concessions for pension card holders and full-time students under 35 are reduced to $175.00.
We are aware that it is very disappointing to all who were intending to come to the conference venue and were looking forward to meeting up with our esteemed international presenters, Phillip Stokoe and Mary Morgan. Notwithstanding this change, we are looking forward to a very stimulating and enriching event.
NB: All registration fees must be forwarded to our Administrator, Gurli Hughes, by Wednesday, 12thOctober. Your receipt from Gurli will also include your access number to join the Zoom on the day. If there is any problem, please contact Gurli or me.
Please direct any other enquiries to me directly. Thank you.
