Networking for many of us ranges from awkward to downright terrifying. But not if Dr Phil Dooley is in charge. His tried and tested activities will have you getting to know people, remembering names, and taking refuge in the bathrooms up to 50% less often than usual*. It will warm you up for the welcome barbecue and give you the perfect start for a successful conference.
Don’t miss out on this chance to meet people before the ANZCOP-AIP Summer Meeting kicks off.
