ASCIA 2010 will also feature 44 speakers and 33 chairs from Australasia contributing to the meeting.

The Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre is the venue for ASCIA 2010. It was selected for its location close to Broadbeach and several excellent hotels and apartments, as well as its capacity to hold a large exhibition and posters in the one hall, adjacent to the plenary hall. It is also close to Coolangatta Airport and all the attractions that the Gold Coast has to offer.

We are extremely grateful to our:

• Speakers and Chairs for taking time out of their busy schedules to contribute to this meeting
• Sponsors and Exhibitors for their generous support, which enables ASCIA to offer a high quality program whilst keeping the registration fees at a reasonable rate.

We look forward to welcoming you to Queensland in September 2010 for the 21st ASCIA Annual Scientific Meeting.
