The ABACBS25 Conference have joined with BiocAsia to organise two full days of workshops immediately following the main conference. All workshops will be held in Festival Tower overlooking the Festival Theatre and the River Torrens.
All are welcome, including those who have attended the ABACBS Conference and those who simply wish to attend some high-quality training workshops. Registrations will be opened shortly on the main ABACBS workshop website
Catering will be provided on both days in a common area
- 10:30-11:00am Morning Tea
- 12:30-1:30pm Lunch
- 3:00-3:30pm Afternoon Tea
