  Conference Theme: Basics to Biosecurity

  

  This one day conference will have three sessions and include live hive demonstrations.   This year we have expanded capacity due to the outstanding success of last year's inaugural event (see feedback below). The event will be held in the superb facility at the Hume Global Learning Centre, Sunbury.  Book now, places are limited. Note: early bird discount offer until 28/2/25.

  Discount if you join VAA

  If you sign up as a member ($93) you will pay the member fee ($120 early bird or $150) rather than the non-member fee ($170 early bird or $200). This means you get a year's membership of VAA for $40 - less than half price!

  You will need to join and pay your membership subscription first. After that, log in to the website and the discounted rate will be available.
