Comment by Deb Robins on March 17, 2010 at 8:26am: http://tinyurl.com/TABFabstracts The abstracts of speakers and poster presentations are up now, along with the printed program. Thank you Kelly Richardson, for your photographs and your beautiful poster children!

Comment by Deb Robins on March 12, 2010 at 9:32pm: The Conference was fantastic now we have had time to look at the evaluations, thanks to all on the committee and their supportive family and colleagues. There are a few photos up of delegates and poster presentations. Podcasts not up yet.

Comment by Deb Robins on February 19, 2010 at 10:50pm: The final conference program with only minor changes is available online
Delegates might want to pre-sell some conference raffle tickets to family and friends (3 for $5) or bring loose change for our raffle, when you see Sarah? I uploaded a photo of Sarah - an amazing handpainted reborn doll by Margaret Mousa. We also have we have an indigenous painting, a $200 hydrotherapy equipment voucher from Peppertown AND not least a Madison resort stay for 2 nights in the blue mountains as major prizes.

Comment by Deb Robins on February 13, 2010 at 6:13am: Absolute final program should be out in the next couple of days & will mail out to the delegates - not many changes, a couple tweaks is all. Also now a child minding contact -click on travel & accommodation button. Only 2 weeks now!!

Comment by Deb Robins on January 19, 2010 at 2:28am: Early bird is closed but Poster titles are up online. Well done all experts accepted by the scientific panel.

Comment by Deb Robins on January 4, 2010 at 7:48am: Early bird deadline extended to Jan 16 because of the busy Xmas season. 10% accommodation rebate available from the Hotels Combined search engine (see accommodation page). Better get in fast and book your hotel as the Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras is on Saturday night Feb 27th - thanks for the heads up on that big event Pam! But I think TABF will be bigger - although not so many sequins. ;-)

Comment by Deb Robins on December 21, 2009 at 7:15pm: Check it? Our full program including concurrent breakout sessions is now available online! We hope you like the spread of topics and speakers. Note that we are covering the major NMD's in consideration for the diverse clientele of our conference partner, the INMR, Children's Hospital at Westmead. However, the focus remains on the most common - B/DMD.

Comment by Tina & Darren Harris on December 18, 2009 at 11:10pm: yes we will try to come we wish to met so many people.

Comment by Julie-Anne on December 13, 2009 at 2:12am: Will be attending for sure. Easy for me being in Sydney.
Hoping to learn lots and meet others living with this hideous disease.

Comment by Sharyn Thompson on December 7, 2009 at 6:17am: I won't be attending, but Julian might be (we'll all be on the Gold Coast at that time) so he can drum up support for The Tour Duchenne.
