Sydney, 3-5 October 2009 The Inaugural Continence and Women’s Health Conference in Cairns was a resounding success and, following on from this, your conference organising committee has been hard at it for months working towards a repeat performance: another stellar event! This time to be held in Sydney in October 2009 – so please mark your diaries for an event not to be missed! The venue itself sets the standard of excellence proposed for our next conference. Darling Harbour Sydney NSW will provide a backdrop for an exciting conference program for members and colleagues designed to appeal to the broad spectrum of sub-specialty areas that go together under the banner of Continence and Women’s Health. Not only will proposed keynote speakers bring you up to date with emerging science but experts will also be on hand to provide in depth exploration of diverse topics from oncology to coccydinia as well as providing a variety of workshops. Along with podium presentations by some of the leaders of our profession, members will be offered the opportunity to share their expertise either through the usual podium presentations or a poster presentation that will take the “5 x 5” format rather than a physical poster. This format consists of five slides presented over five minutes with presentations grouped into related themes. We all know how time flies! October will be here before you know it so make your plans now to include Sydney and the CWPA Conference program in your professional development calendar. Can’t wait to see you there!
