WELCOME

It is our pleasure to invite you to take part in the 5th Clinical Research Conference "Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow" to be held at the SkyCity Convention Centre in Auckland, on 20th and 21st August 2009.
NZACRes was founded in August 2004 as a non-profit organisation. It is a constituent organisation of the Royal Society of New Zealand, our national Academy of Science. The aim of NZACRes is to provide a forum for clinical researchers in science, healthcare and industry in New Zealand – for exchanging experience, sharing expertise and networking.

Registration opens at noon on the first day of the Conference and you are invited to network with the Exhibition and Poster presenters over lunch before participating in interactive workshops on a variety of topics.   An evening cocktail function follows the workshop sessions to give you an opportunity to catch up with your colleagues and peers.

The second Conference day will include key speakers who will address topics LIST TOPICS. There will also be the opportunity to discuss the poster themes with the authors at break times. The meeting will conclude with the announcement of the Best Poster Award winner followed by a farewell cocktail function with an opportunity to continue networking.

Extended coffee and lunch breaks have been scheduled to ensure enough time for meeting peers and visiting the commercial exhibits.

We look forward to welcoming you to the 2009 Clinical Research conference.
