Sundowner networking
The sundowner networking event will be held at Bayside Kitchen
on the bank of Matilda Bay on Tuesday, 18 June.
The event
At this casual event, we invite you to make new friends and reconnect with old ones. Networking is one of the most valuable elements of the ASC conference.
​
There is food and drink covered for this event.

Networking icebreaker
Networking for many of us ranges from awkward to downright terrifying. But not if Dr Phil Dooley is in charge. His tried and tested activities will have you getting to know people, remembering names, and taking refuge in the bathrooms up to 50% less often than usual*. It will warm you up for the welcome sundowner and give you the perfect start for a successful conference.

Dr Phil Dooley will run a structured networking icebreaker session at the conclusion of day one of the conference program. This workshop feeds directly into the networking sundowner, where you can continue to engage with new and established connections.
​
We thank Phil for running this session.
The sundowner networking event is included in every in-person conference ticket, and is available for separate purchase for those who have an interest in attending.
N.B. Cooked-bird tickets do not have catering or the dinner guaranteed.
