At the Queensland Prevention Symposium
Event Materials
While we strive to keep printed materials to a minimum, in instances where they are unavoidable, we've opted for uncoated paper to minimise environmental impact. We encourage all attendees to return any printed materials that you do not wish to keep at the conclusion of the conference for recycling.
Name Badge and Lanyard
Upon the conclusion of the Queensland Prevention Symposium, kindly return your name badge and lanyard to the registration desk for recycling. Plastic name badge holders, crafted for durability, will be repurposed for future conferences, while paper name badges and lanyards will be responsibly recycled through TerraCycle. We sincerely appreciate your collaboration in lessening our environmental footprint.
Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre
The Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre is a centrally located venue within walking distance to public transport and major tourist destinations significantly eliminating the need for transfers and additional travel throughout the conference.
