2024 Online Conference
Information
Introduction
With the significant rise in the cost of living, and the need to think more sustainably about how we approach conference attendance, we have decided to host the ASHB conference online in 2024. We hope that in doing so, we will also allow greater participation from the ASHB community at the in-person conference in Auckland in 2025.
The conference this year will take place from the 25th to the 27th of November 2024.
We are currently accepting abstracts for papers (the standard 20 minutes, inclusive of 5 minutes for questions), and lightning round presentations (1 slide with a 3-minute presentation).
The lightning round poster presentations is a new feature for the 2024 conference, and are modelled on the highly successful 3-minute thesis competition, founded at the University of Queensland in 2008. This format offers speakers an invaluable opportunity to hone their skills at effective, and succinct, communication – something that will be invaluable in their future careers. If you would like to present a paper or lightning round presentation, please submit your abstract below.
Abstracts are due by the 20th of September 2024, and registrations are due by the 20th of October, 2024.
Acknowledgement of Country
The Australasian Society for Human Biology acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the many Countries on which the conference delegates will be joining. We pay our respects to the Elders past and present, recognising that they hold the memories and traditions of culture and Country.
In-person conference hubs
We are aiming to organise regional conference hubs this year in major centres where delegates will be based. A list of hub convenors will be published ahead of the conference. If you are interested in being a hub convenor, please contact us at [email protected]. The in-person hubs will provide a great way to enjoy the conference with other local ASHB members, with the daily sessions timed to also allow us to share a meal each day.
Pre-conference online social event
We will be hosting a pre-conference online social event this year where we can have a casual catch up with ASHB colleagues ahead of the conference. We will hold this event on the 24th of November at 4 pm AEDT.
Conference fees
This year, we are asking delegates to pay a small fee to directly support the provision of student prizes in 2024 and travel prizes for the 2025 conference in Auckland. Registration for the conference will be $30 for ASHB members and $50 for non-members. You are also welcome to donate to support the student prizes and 2025 travel awards if you would like to.
