Dear Colleague,

On behalf of the AFAANZ Board of Directors, we invite you to join us at the 2019 Annual Conference to be held in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. The conference is a great way to be inspired by our keynote speakers, engage in debates with other scholars, and enjoy our social functions and the hospitality of Brisbane. New delegates are always welcome so please spread the word to others.

We are excited to announce the following plenary speakers for 2019:

• Professor Wayne Landsman, University of North Carolina

• Professor Roger Simnett, University of New South Wales

• Professor Naomi Soderstrom, University of Melbourne

Brisbane is Queensland’s buzzing riverside capital city and is wedged between the ocean and rugged national parks. It is a cosmopolitan hub for arts, culture and dining but still retains a close connection with nature and a classic laid-back Queensland attitude. It has a population of about 2 million people, making it the third-largest city in Australia. Its positive attitude and creative confidence makes Brisbane a genuine new-world city. Even though Brisbane is rapidly developing and forward-thinking, it maintains a youthful enthusiasm and has what is arguably the most vibrant, laid back and friendliest atmosphere of any east-coast capital city.

Brisbane’s year-round warm climate, spectacular scenery and pleasant locals has been the draw-card for many domestic and international visitors, making Brisbane the fastest-growing city in Australia. Getting anywhere in Brisbane is extremely easy. The CBD is relatively flat and condensed, which makes it perfect for walking or cycling and virtually all other areas can be reached by public transport. Brisbane is home to a number of restaurants and cafés at which chefs emphasise local sourced delicious fresh Queensland produce. From Moreton Bay prawns to greens from the Lockyer Valley, you’ll discover Queensland’s largest collection of Good Food Guide-awarded restaurants, cafes and bars in the region.

Brisbane is also the gateway to explore the rest of Queensland, such as the beautiful Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Tamborine Mountain, Moreton Island and Fraser Island, which is a world heritage listed site, offering pristine, unspoiled lakes, dunes, forests and wildlife. You can select from many day tours such as Wine tours, Brewery tours, unique Art Tours, Scenic Rainforest tours or tailor your own tour to visit boutique wineries, popular microbreweries and the most awarded distillery in Australia, the Tambourine Mountain Distillery. You can meet local artists in their own studios and browse charming art galleries or walk high amongst rainforest canopy at the Tambourine Mountain Skywalk.

We look forward to welcoming you to Brisbane, Australia in 2019.
