Australian Asthma Conference 2008 - Invitation

We are pleased to invite you to attend the biennial Australian Asthma Conference from 20 - 21 October 2008 at the Australian Technology Park Sydney.

Building on our theme Advancing Asthma Where? The Conference program will review the changing world of asthma in our nation.  We aim to work together to develop ideas and actions which can influence and inform future asthma agendas.

Our program will seek to involve a wide cross section of people connected with asthma -consumers, health professionals, scientists and researchers, policy makers from State and Federal Governments and Asthma Foundations of Australia staff.

In the meantime, please consider marking these dates in your diary and joining us for what we think will be a stimulating and challenging conversation about a key Australian health issue.

Any comments or suggestions you may have, please contact the Asthma Foundation New South Wales by email: ask@asthmansw.org.au

We look forward to welcoming you to Sydney!

With Regards
Asthma Foundation NSW on behalf of Asthma Foundations Australia.
