Social program
At QMIHSC, we believe that networking and relationship-building are just as important as formal learning. That’s why we have planned a series of engaging social events throughout the conference.
You can sign up for these events during the registration process. If you have already registered and would like to attend a social event, please email the conference organisers at qmihsc@expertevents.com.au.
