About the Symposium
The Symposium will commence with a Welcome dinner on Wednesday evening 14 August and conclude early afternoon on Saturday 17 August.
The 2013 Symposium program will again be structured to provide ample opportunity to discuss collaborations and new innovative research. This year the Symposium will be extended to include international collaborators involved in Movember's Global Action Plan biomarker initiative as we expand our spirit of global collaboration in prostate cancer research.
Formal and informal networking opportunities will give delegates a chance to more fully develop collaborative work, a cornerstone of the Aus-Can PCRA’s mission.
There is no registration fee for the Symposium, however delegates will be responsible for their travel costs to the venue. Three nights of accommodation at the Sheraton Mirage Resort and meals during the Symposium will be provided to delegates.
