Charles Sturt University and the University of Sydney are excited to be co-hosting the 2017 ADSA Convention this year in Australia’s premier tourist destination and the world-famous harbour city, Sydney. With July only three months away, our team is working hard on finalising the academic and social schedule to bring you a week packed full of amazing educational and entertainment opportunities! Get keen – it is lining up to be the best convention yet!
Prepare to immerse yourself in engaging presentations on restorative dentistry, endodontics, removable prosthodontics, dento-maxillofacial radiology, and more. Topics such as “Cone-Beam Computer Tomography in Dental Education: What is next?”, “Posterior Composites in 2017 – General Practice Reality” and “Calamities in endodontics! How can I get myself out of this mess?” will expand your breadth of knowledge and allow you to keep up with the constantly evolving world of dentistry.
The social program will have you checking into either Pullman Sydney Hyde Park or Novotel Sydney Central on Monday 3rd July. Pullman Sydney Hyde Park is perfectly located in the epicentre of the arts, retail, and business precincts. Situated opposite the iconic Hyde Park, the hotel is equipped with every possible convenience and boasts striking views of Sydney, with a spectacular rooftop pool and recreation deck
Novotel Sydney Central hotel is only a short walk from Darling Harbour entertainment and CBD shopping. Settle in comfortably and make your room an inner-city haven, with many rooms coming with a balcony. Unwind after learning and partying in the heated rooftop pool or on the garden terrace, an urban oasis at Novotel.
For your first night, come down to the wharf for the ‘Meet and Greet’ cruise on the Bella Vista as it takes you around the famed Sydney Harbour, showcasing the Harbour Bridge, Opera House and other iconic landmarks. Party the night away as you enjoy a 360-degree view of the harbour on Sydney’s ultimate viewing vessel!
On Tuesday, discover some of the best bars that Sydney has to offer on the pub crawl. Free drinks on entry and plenty of food provided; what’s not to love? This event has a history of being a hit and we KNOW you are going to enjoy it too!
Wednesday Night offers you the chance to take the night off and have a breather, or explore more of the sites and activities of Sydney, where you are sure to find something which appeals to you. The natural beauty of Sydney’s renowned beaches such as Bondi, Coogee and Palm Beach, the historic and cultural monuments surrounding Sydney Harbour and the Rocks, as well as the many national parks, Royal botanic gardens and bushwalking are just a small snapshot of what is on offer.
On Thursday, prepare yourself to absorb a 360-degree panorama of Sydney as you journey to the summit of the iconic Harbour Bridge. Traverse the outer rim of the bridge as it delivers you all the way to the top, where the sky remains just beyond your outstretched fingertips.
Get ready to party like there’s no tomorrow at Sydney’s #1 Superclub on Friday night! Home, Sydney’s House of Music, is a premier nightclub located in Darling Harbour boasting three levels and eight rooms! The night starts at Rooftop Level, an impressive space with breathtaking views over Darling Harbour, with a world-class beverage and cocktail listing!
Finally for Saturday night, don your finest garb and sip on some champagne as we celebrate the end of convention with our annual ball on Saturday night. Hosted by Doltone House, enjoy a spectacular waterfront venue on the foreshore of Sydney Harbour, with views of the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge and the magical city skyline, as you party to your heart’s content.
