Virtual Conference
Following the cancellation of our 2020 Sydney conference due to COVID-19, we were excited to present the ACORN 2020 Virtual Conference which started in early September and concluded in December. Many of the presenters from the cancelled live conference were able to present a series of live and pre-recorded webinars, giving you valuable opportunities to learn, share and ask questions.
