Why is the conference being held virtually?
Because of the continued COVID-related uncertainty regarding 'live' events, and in the interests of the safety of our members and all associated staff, we have decided to hold the Australian Podiatry Conference 2021 as a virtual event.
Whilst we understand that many delegates would like to meet in person, we believe it is the safest and most responsible course of action. The virtual platform allows us to access the worlds-best presenters from around the globe and bring them to you at a time and place that suits you.
We also believe a reduction in air travel, accommodation and transport associated with 'live' events is beneficial for our environment. We will, when safe to do so, run 'ín-person' events in the most effective, sustainable and easily accessible manner for all members and delegates.
Will there be any 'in-person' workshops?
Whilst there will be no 'in-person' workshops associated with the Australian Podiatry Conference 2021, we do hope to run 'in-person' events later in the year when it is safe to do so. Keep tuned to news on the APodA website and socials for more information.
