We're back...
resort style!

Well...a lot has happened since we said our fond farewells at our last in person conference held against the stunning Brisvegas city skyline. But the good news is the DFA 'in person' conference is back, and this time we're getting the band back together resort style!

We have a superstar line-up of international and national experts presenting at future focused DFD plenary sessions and practical workshops across the two days. Once again, we're elevating both the digital experience and social events, with our aim for you to leave rejuvenated and inspired. Most importantly though, we're focusing on the content that matters. DFA 2023 is all about relaxed learning and networking with old friends and new. We can't wait to welcome you as we head back to nature at the Novotel Sunshine Coast - a pristine beachfront haven.

about heading LD V1.0

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.

Conference ...
retreat style!

Did you know that the Sunshine Coast is officially one of the ‘Most Loved Destinations in the World’ coming in at #3 according to the 2023 Tourism Index Sentiment, with travellers from across the globe following their hearts to our slice of Queensland paradise. And when it comes to what makes the Sunshine Coast so special, you’ll find the clue is in the name.

For DFA2023, we’re once again combining an outstanding conference program with a unique location and experience. Novotel Sunshine Coast Resort is an absolute haven, offering a pristine beachfront location framed by natural bushland. The resort wraps itself around the private beach-lined lagoon and a short stroll down the private path will have you dipping your feet in the ocean in no time.

Nestled within the grounds of the Novotel Sunshine Coast, sits the state-of-the-art convention centre, which opened in late 2019. Surrounded by natural bushland, with the occasional visit from local wildlife, this versatile conference space combines the latest in technology with a unique laidback experience, which is where we'll be for DFA2023.

How's that for conference serenity!
