New Venue for PSA16 Conference

Next year’s Pharmaceutical Society of Australia national conference, PSA16, will be one of the first events to take place at Sydney’s Four Points by Sheraton at Darling Harbour following a major upgrade including significant enhancements to its conference and meetings spaces.

The new facility opens in May, with PSA16 taking place from 29-31 Jul 2016, and PSA NSW branch director and conference chairman Steven Drew says the “revitalised delegate engagement area” will allow for the expected 1,000 delegates to easily interact with suppliers and other exhibitors.

PSA National President, Joe Demarte, said PSA16 would focus on innovation, understanding that “the future of the profession and the industry is in innovation, diversity and expanded and new models of practice”.  PSA ceo Lance Emerson said the Society had listened to valuable feedback provided from last year’s event, with delegates keenly
interested in products and services on display so they could take them back with them to their practice and help make a difference to their patients. 

Together with the enlarged interaction space, the PSA16 program will include the latest in clinical education, aiming to “engage and spark new direction in pharmacy”.
