AAMT 5th National Conference Hobart

The AAMT 5th National Conference will be held in Hobart May 22 – 24 2009.

On behalf of the Australian Association of Massage Therapists (AAMT), it gives me great pleasure to invite you to
attend our 5th National Conference, held at the Wrest Point Convention Centre in Hobart Tasmania, 22-24 May 2009.

The theme for 2009 is focusing on core stability, including topics such as structural assessment for and injury due to lack of.

For 2009, the Bowen Therapists Federation of Australia is participating in collaboration with AAMT to present this
event to their membership, which reflects positively on our conference program by increasing the number of
opportunities for delegates to participate in afternoon breakout sessions.

Importantly, I would like to thank those who attended our 2008 national conference in Adelaide and took time to fill
out session feedback forms and rated the overall success of the conference. Once again, we have created a streamed
program, which will result in every delegate having an opportunity to be involved in a hands-on workshop on one of
the afternoons. Needless to say, workshop allocations are done on a first in first served basis so please register early
to avoid disappointment.
With a diversity of interest within the membership comes the challenging task of creating a program that caters
for everyone and I would like to extend my sincere thanks to this year’s Conference Committee and Chief Executive
Officer, Tricia Hughes for the discussion and program input which began soon after our Adelaide conference.
As with all past AAMT conferences, the Gala Dinner ticket is included and I strongly encourage you to attend this
important event, which includes a 3-course dinner and beverages. It is also the time to let your hair down and have
fun with like-minded people in our industry. Please note that there is no discount on conference fees for delegates
unable to attend our Gala Dinner, as we negotiate venue costs based on a variety of expenses and catering makes
up a large part of this.
Finally, I’d like to thank our sponsors and trade exhibitors for their generous support and we look forward to seeing
you at our 5th AAMT National Conference in Hobart.
