The 12th symposium will be held July 2013 in Melbourne at the Crown Conference Centre and promises to be equally as exciting. Our program is almost finalised and the quality speakers we have engaged will impress. Senior experts from major multinational companies that have embraced the sustainability ethos will share their knowledge with us.

The organising committee looks forward to welcoming you to what will be an information packed event.

After the symposium stay a while, hire a car and travel the Great Ocean Road, rated as one of the world's best scenic drives.

Melbourne is renowned for it's food, fashion and sport.

Ride the tram to St Kilda for a quiet drink and walk along the beach.

While the boys are at the footy, the ladies might like to stroll down Bridge Rd, Richmond and try all the fashion houses.
