What is it that attracts us to Australia’s smallest state?  The rugged mountains, spectacular coastlines, native forests, sweeping bays, picturesque beaches and sparling lakes provide the backdrop for towns overflowing with historic buildings and abundant convict stories from the past.  Hobart is fast becoming the boutique capital of Australia.  It has art, culture, music, beer and Australia’s best variety of sea and land produce as a centrepiece to every function.

In November 2014, the Histology Group of Victoria ventured to Hobart, Tasmania for a state conference jointly held with the support of the local Taswegian histology population.  What developed was so much more.  Support came from across Australia both from delegates and trade representation.  The event’s success would ultimately lead to pronouncing Hobart as the venue for the 2017 National Meeting.

The organising committee invites delegates, presenters and trade representatives to Hobart for the 8th National Histology Conference, and the first upon Tasmanian soil.  Delegates will experience a range of workshops and plenary sessions designed to provide continuing professional development in histology, showcase modern equipment and consumables and experience a little of what Hobart and Tasmania has to offer.  And if it is not included in the conference perhaps you will stay a little longer and explore for yourself.
