The conference is fully catered will conclude with a sundowner networking event at the end of the first day.

The second day will commence with a forum focusing in on Phytophthora Dieback the South Coast Region of WA. We will also team up with the Department of Biodiversity Conservation & Attractions as well as the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development to talk about new methods of delivering biosecurity training and awareness, and to explore the impact of Phytophthora at Wireless Hill Park.
