We are in the unfortunate position that we have had to close registrations for AHA2018 as we have reached capacity. We regret that we are unable to accommodate the high level of interest in the conference.

For those who missed out, we have a number of stimulating roundtable discussions in the Copland Theatre that will be open to the general public. Further details can be found on the PDF flyer below.
