2020 Conference

SoCLA is pleased to announce the 2020 National Conference will be held in Hobart at the Hobart Function and Conference Centre on 24 and 25 July 2020, with welcome festivities taking place on the evening of 23 July 2020.
 
The conference theme is “Getting Risk Right", and we expect a lively discussion on what is a central tenant of legal and technical practice.
 
For the first time, the conference will cover 10 points of legal CLE, across all compulsory areas in Australian jurisdictions, and will also be well suited to the risk management requirements for engineers.
 
A Call for Abstracts will be issued in the first week of March, and Abstracts will be due in late April.
 
Further information including delegate and registration details, accommodation, the call for papers and conference sponsorship opportunities will be available shortly.
