Conferences

IBS Regional

A biennial meeting is one of the main activities of the region, which enables members and non-members to come together to exchange ideas, learn about new research methodologies and applications, network and potentially establish important contacts and collaboration opportunities. These conferences are renowned for being intimate regarding numbers of participants, yet large enough to facilitate invited and contributed presentations as well as poster presentations. The program typically runs over several days with an optional social activity afternoon organised half-way to encourage further social and professional networking.

The next regional meeting - Biometrics by the Beach - will be held in Coffs Harbour on 2-6 December 2007. General information about the conference is available from the conference website.

If you are interested in details of past regional meetings such as where and when they have been held, numbers of participants, etc., then take a look here.

IBS International

A number of our members also recommend attending the biennial International Biometric Conference (IBC) meetings, which are held in the off-year to our regional meetings. The next IBC will be held in Dublin in July 2008. See IBC 2008 for further details.

Others of relevance

Other conferences of relevance to regional biometricians will be announced here as information comes to hand. If you have a conference of relevance to the biometrical community in Australia or New Zealand, then please contact the Website Manager with details.
