One of the main activities of the Australasian Skill Acquisition Network (ASAN) is to hold an annual meeting/conference. The annual ASAN conference strives to be a friendly, engaging, and safe space (especially for students) allowing practitioners, academics, and students to share their work with each other.

The conference aims to include a balance of both theoretical and applied/practical work, hoping to bridge the gap between theory and practice.

The Executive Committee is pleased to announce that the host for the 2024 ASAN conference will be Southern Cross University on the Gold Coast, Australia. The conference will be held on Thursday 28th and Friday 29th of November. To register or submit an abstract visit the conference website here.
