National Congress 2014

The meeting will be held at the Adelaide Convention Centre from December 7 to December 11 or 12 2014.

Committee
A local organising committee is already in place and will meet shortly to start the administrative tasks of organising the meeting.

The National Congress should be the highlight event of the RACI calendar. As such is it vital that all components of the RACI play an active role in both the organisation and ultimately execution of the meeting. The organising committee is made up of members from several divisions and interest backgrounds and is committed to involving the broadest cross section of the community.

Committee announced

PCO
Additionally a tender document for the PCO for the meeting has been distributed and bids from interested parties close in early November. The PCO will be identified shortly thereafter. We have tried to identify all potential PCOs who might be interested and capable of providing the services required.

Symposium Style
The meeting will be run in symposium style. All interested parties in the RACI will be asked to suggest symposia for the meeting. Any suggestions will be welcome. Given that the meeting will be an opportunity to bring all the communities of the organisation together, we hope various parts of the organisation will take that opportunity to hold joint symposia that perhaps could not be held at other times. More focussed symposia are also very welcome. A diversity of symposia topics and styles is critical to a successful meeting.

Plenary Speakers
In terms of overall meeting issues such as plenary speakers, networking events etc. again we will be seeking input. For plenary speakers, all suggestions provided will be put to representatives of the communities for ranking to ultimately find the highest quality speakers with the broadest appeal possible.

To get discussions about the Congress started, the first part of the next assembly meeting in November will be dedicated to the organisation of the meeting.

In the time between now and then we ask you to start discussions in your groups regarding what you hope to get out of the meeting, things you would like to see happen there, suggestions regarding things that have worked well in other meetings you have been involved in, suggestions for ways to involve students (both postgrad and school students) and anything else you feel should be discussed.
