Australian Earth Sciences Convention Newcastle July 2014
EARLY BIRD REGISTRATION EXTENDED UNTIL APRIL 11!

Australian Earth Sciences Convention (AESC 2014: Sustainable Australia) will be held from 7-10 July 2014 in Newcastle NSW. The AESC early bird registration has been extended until midnight AEST on Friday 11 April!

This extension allows those who have submitted an abstract additional time to finalise their registration and receive the early bird discount. We encourage interested members to register before this date, not only to save in registration fees, but to ensure you don’t miss out on booking your preferred accommodation venue.

There is another large event happening in Newcastle over the dates of the AESC, therefore the organising committee encourages you to book your accommodation early! The Convention Secretariat have rooms on hold at various accommodation venues in Newcastle however these rooms can only be held until the end of May so book now to avoid disappointment.
