The Scientific Program will bring together an outstanding list of international and Australian scientists who will present an exciting range of papers on recent discoveries in proteomics. The Congress starts with a satellite Education and Training day covering the latest technologies and methods in proteomics analysis, while the Clinical and HUPO Initiatives sessions have been incorporated into the main program, which has been expanded to four full days. Each day starts with a plenary session before the program is split into three themed parallel sessions. The strong program will attract a large number of delegates and exhibitors and plenty of time has been set aside in the program for exchange of ideas during the poster sessions, industry workshops and coffee/lunch breaks held in the magnificent exhibition hall. The scientific program is complimented by a spectacular social program culminating in a gala party at the iconic Luna Park.
