Dear members and colleagues,
The 2008 SMBE (NSW) Annual Training Seminar and Conference
(incorporating the Country Technician's meeting) will be held at Dubbo NSW. This
will be a major key-note event for SMBE NSW & it's members as this is the 20th
Anniversary of this event. This event has grown from humble beginnings as a
small week-end Country Technician's meeting at Dubbo in 1988. Back then a
handful of Technicians frustrated at the lack of training, education &
networking opportunities available for country techs decided to have a Country
Technician's meeting in their own time & payed their own way. It was a no-frills
event but has grown & developed into a well attended National & International
event with people travelling from all over Australia & New Zealand to attend.
The "need" which these early Pioneers had struck a similar chord with other NSW
& Australasian Biomedical Engineering staff creating & evolving the major event
we have now.
Please remember that this seminar is
not a sales expo but it's real aim is to improve the knowledge of
Biomedical Technicians & Engineers
