That looks great - do they plan to video it and put it online?

Great to see good-quality conferences starting up all over the world - US, UK, Oz...

Thanks @Sasha good question!!! I think it is quite a small room and event but I shall call and ask them. It would be good for Professor Gradsniks research and her cfs clinic at Griffith Uni as well as international patients. I have a wait listed booking for her clinic in Qld although the appt has been postponed 3 times as the clinic is going through OHS issues in setup.
Looks like the clinic will open in Oxt now. The first of its type in this country.

Should also mention she has developed an app for patient symptoms for their GPs to keep track of. Let me find the app details it might be useful for others here also.
