Thank you for your interest in ConQEST 2012.

ConQEST 2012 is specifically targeted at building practical knowledge and skills for School Science officers in critical demand areas.  This year, ConQEST is offering some highly relevant hands-on exposure to laboratory technology and procedures.  This means that each workshop has some unique requirements.  For this reason, ConQEST workshop co-ordinators have requested that participants come adequately prepared for their workshop sessions.  Some sessions require the participant to bring their own safety glasses and lab coats; and to wear appropriate footwear.  Other sessions require participants to bring microscopes and data on USBs; whilst others have a small additional surcharge to cover materials.  While the QEST Committee has endeavoured to provide all resources possible, please carefully read the requirements for each workshops taking note of requirements, session limits and additional charges.

Please note that this year, all notes and session details will be provided to participants electronically. This means that you can attend your preferred sessions and still have access to information from all the other sessions presented.

For those of you with purchasing authority, Trade Display holders will be available to provide expert advice and assist with purchasing requirements.  In addition, the QEST Committee will have QEST merchandise for sale and there will be a SWAP and GO session at morning tea on both days for SOOs to exchange surplus lab equipment and fantastic ideas.

You will need to review the program before making your choices. You will be automatically registered for attendance at the keynotes and AGM.  The conference dinner will be held on Monday night at the Normanby Hotel and will incur an extra expense.

Once registered, you will receive an invoice from QEST 5-7 working days after registration. Please forward this invoice to your Finance Department for payment.

Accommodation:   It is the Delegate’s responsibility to arrange their own accommodation if they wish to stay in Brisbane for the duration of the Conference. Please refer to Accommodation Options for information about nearby accommodation.
