We’ll soon be announcing our full program of internationally acclaimed experts and national speakers whose influence is critical to best practice treatment and research in diabetes-related foot disease around the globe. But to get the ball rolling, we're excited to announce our first three international keynote speakers Prof David G Armstrong (USA), Prof Matilde Monterio-Soares (PRT) and A/Prof Jaap van Netten (NLD).
Once again, our international speakers are not only presenting during the plenary sessions, but also feature in our interactive workshop sessions running across the two days. Joining our international speakers is our fantastic line up of national speakers and abstract presenters where the newest and brightest research from around Australia and internationally will be showcased. The workshop sessions will incorporate case studies, “what’s new” in practice, an interactive back-to-basics approach, all designed to spark interesting conversation from all perspectives.
