2009 conference dates and venue announced
Researchers are invited to gather at the Sydney Hilton, a high quality facility in the centre of town, from Wednesday 30 September to Friday 2 October (with the stand-alone workshops on the Friday). A visioning workshop for the conference was held in November, facilitated by 2009 co-chair Paul Vittles. Former conference chairs, committee members and award-winning speakers mixed with fresh faces, drawing on their experiences and mapping out ideas for the future. Vittles and his co-chair Duncan Rintoul both have reputations as innovators, but equally value the views and suggestions of others. If you have ideas for topics, speakers, formats or anything else, please contact them on conference09@amsrs.com.au. The 2009 conference will include facilitated panel/debate forums, focused parallel sessions, keynote speakers and plenary sessions, in-depth workshops, exhibitor booths, poster presentations (new in 09), and a range of social and networking events. Details about ways you can get involved will go out in January, with submissions due in early March. Until then, here are a few ideas to get you thinking. As usual, there is strong interest in hearing from researchers who are doing the unusual, and there is always an important place at our conference for discussion of methodological developments. Alongside the pioneers, the conference also needs to hear from the unsung heroes of our industry: - Do you run long-term tracking studies with incremental improvements year-on-year? How have you kept things fresh?
- Are you a quiet achiever who implements good practice day in day out? Please remind us what works.
- Are you an account manager who has sustained mutually beneficial relationships with clients for many years? What are your secrets?
- Are you an employer who has retained your talented people through sustained good practice? Remind us how to do the simple things well.
The conference committee will also be inviting papers and posters around topics like: - Long-term thinking and planning in research programs
- Research that assists clients with sustainable economic success
- Government investment in research that goes beyond electoral cycles
- Long-term behaviour change programmes - how they have been achieved and evaluated
- Brands that have stood the test of time without standing still
- Environmental sustainability and our industry's response to climate change
- Social sustainability, including community development initiatives
- Human sustainability, including staff wellbeing initiatives
- Research that has helped companies beat the downturn.
